By Oliviero Toscani
OT 2013

Blend
Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot

Production
Made only from the best hand-selected bunches from the Monteromboli vineyard, this wine is matured in French oak for at least 12 months, followed by 36 months in bottle before release. OT is our estate's flagship wine. While every vintage represents the epitome of what the vineyard has to offer, the meticulous blend of wine never changes.

Tasting Notes
The nose displays seductive aromas of exotic spice, freshly cracked pepper, sweet red fruits, and underlying herbaceous complexity. The palate is broad and concentrated, intensely flavored but balanced by fresh acidity with soft, smooth tannins and a lingering finish.

The 2013 Toscana Rosso from Oliviero Toscani bursts open to aromas of cherries along with some loam, cedar and hints of spice notes. Full and plush with well-integrated tannins and a round, velvety finish. This is drinking excellent today and should offer a drinking window that spans a few more years.

The 2013 OT, a blend of Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot aged in French oak, is another fabulous wine from Oliviero Toscani. Unctuous and richly textured, the 2013 packs a serious punch. The oak is a bit too much, and yet there is something about the intensity of the fruit that makes the wine absolutely delicious. With a little more attention to cooperage, the OT could be a materially better wine.
