Crognolo Sette Ponti Toscana 2007 (Italy)

I'm not usually a fan of "Old World" wines (ie. Italy, Spain, France), but I had two wines over the holidays that contradicted me. This is one.

A gift from my dad - a quick google told me it was #30 on Wine Spectator's top 100 wines of 2009.

It had the fullness and rich flavor that you would expect from a classic Italian wine, but had a light uncharacteristic fruity flavor that takes the edge off the earthiness.
