The 1995 Boscarelli vino da tavolo, a blend of 80% Sangiovese Grosso and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, is typical of many of the better 1995 Tuscan wines. The color is dense ruby/purple, and the wine is ripe, but extremely tannic and backward. This is a structured, spicy, medium-bodied wine with excellent depth, but it requires cellaring. Readers will especially appreciate its earth-tinged berry fruit, licorice, smoke, and briery character. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2010.
