Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and a drop of Petit Verdot go into this quintessential bottling from the Tuscan coast. It opens with aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit, baking spice, aromatic herb, violets and a whiff of wet soil. The delicious palate doles out crunchy red cherries, crushed raspberries, mint, anise and minerality alongside fresh acidity and polished tannins. Editors' Choice.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Insoglio del Cinghiale is a blend of 35% Syrah, 30% Cabernet Franc, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. Only 45% of the wine is aged for four months in used French barrique, making for a very light oak imprint. In fact, Insoglio del Cinghiale is all about fresh fruit, with bold cherry and blackberry in center stage, thanks to the cooler growing conditions in 2013. It drinks beautifully right now, thanks to its honest, straightforward personality.

"One of the big developments is the release of two vintages of a new wine from Tenuta di Biserno. Biserno is the new family-owned winery of brothers Piero and Lodovico Antinori, located just outside the appellation of Bolgheri…
I find the style of the property's wines already to be a fascinating combination of Ornellaia's and Sassicaia's, emphasizing the generosity of the former and the firmness and backbone of the latter."

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
