D’Isanto & D’Isanto I Balzini
D’Isanto & D’Isanto ‘I Balzini’
This elegant blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon opens in the glass with deep black fruit aromas, leather, and subtle eucalyptus. On the palate, it truly shines—offering savory layers of black cherry, spiced blueberry, dry chocolate, tobacco, and espresso. The texture is slightly gritty yet well-structured, with polished tannins and a long, lingering finish. In my opinion, it tastes even better than it smells, unfolding beautifully with time and rewarding patience.
The Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon combination also gives this wine an interesting Tuscan character. Sangiovese brings acidity and savory notes, while Cabernet Sauvignon adds darker fruit, structure, and depth. It’s a blend that makes sense once you taste how the wine develops in the glass. I’d say if you encounter an I Balzini bottle, give it a try.
