Score 92/100 · Drink 2003-2020, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
The sensational, opaque ruby/purple-colored 1999 Pecchia (100% Sangiovese) displays how unusually ripe and concentrated the 1999 vintage was in Tuscany. It boasts an opaque purple color as well as a glorious bouquet of black fruits, lead pencil, vanillin, smoke, and flowers. Dense and full-bodied, with abundant structure, outstanding purity, harmony, and overall depth, this is a powerful (14.5% alcohol) effort with extraordinary finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2020. Gagliole's consulting oenologist is the brilliant Luca d'Attoma, the man responsible for some of the most exciting wines emerging from Tuscany. Importer: Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel.
