I have bought a case of the 2005 Tenuta Dei Sette Ciela Indaco, and I like it. With 6 years of age, it is showing well, despite the amateur rankings I have read. Excellent nose giving way to a typical Tuscan palate with smooth tannins and a relatively long finish give this wine 4 stars in my book.

I like Italian wines but don’t know much about the myriad of regions, classifications and what grape variety is in what. I do know good wine though, and for the price I paid- BARGAIN!

Typically, Sangiovese is the big player in Italian wines, but being a Super Tuscan, it is a blend of Cab Sav amongst other non-approved varietals, thus making it ineligible for a “DOC/G” classification. Not that it matters, this is good stuff that should last until 2016 at the least.
