This might be described by some as a baby Super-Tuscan. "Super-Tuscan" because of the unconventional grape blend and the winery's location on the Maremma coast as opposed to the central Chianti area. "Baby" because the wine is more affordable than the typical trophy red from the trendy region. It's a combination of 95-per-cent sangiovese (of Chianti fame) with 5 per cent petit verdot, the French grape often used in red Bordeaux wines to add deep colour and firm tannins to cabernet and merlot. Magliano's 2011 Sinarra is medium-full-bodied, dark and chewy, showing ripe fruit imbued with hints of mushroom and spice. The tannins are chalky but unaggressive. It should improve with up to six years in the cellar and would make a fine match for herbed Tuscan steak or grilled boar sausages tonight.
