2008 Frescobaldi Lamaione

Price: $89.95

This 2008 Frescobaldi Lamaione is tailor-made for a slow-braised lamb shank on a crisp autumn evening. From Tuscany's renowned clay soils, this 100% Merlot offers a bold, structured profile, hinting at wild blackberry and a whisper of eucalyptus. Its intense flavour and velvety tannins promise a deeply satisfying sip, particularly alongside hearty, rich fare.
