Excellent!! - Great varietal character but reserved.  Excellent sense of terroir.  Violets,  Dried Flowers! Wow.  Extremely long and elegant finish. A sense of black tar and resin in the finish. 100% aged in clay amphora!

Tassi was founded by Guido Franci, born in 1910. He had worked as a sharecropper for the Biondi Santi family since he was a boy. Eventually, the family went on to raise renowned honey and to operate the famous Drogheria Franci shop and restaurant. Now, Guido's grandson Fabio manages the historic Enoteca located inside the Fortezza di Montalcino. The family has vineyards in different areas of Montalcino and guard their ancient terroir fiercely.
