Winemaker's Notes:

 The wine's initial balsamic sensations are followed by aromas of ripe fruit and spice. The palate is velvety, with soft tannins and great fi nesse. The finish and aftertaste are well supported by savory mineral notes that give the wine lovely length and persistence.

Blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot

About Antinori:

 The Antinori family of Florence, one of the world's oldest and most distinguished wine producers, has lived in Tuscany since the 14th century and celebrated its 625th anniversary as wine makers in 2010. The current company president, Marchese Piero Antinori, believes in the tradition that the primary role of wine is to accompany food and enhance the dining experience. In Florence, the Antinori family has led a "Renaissance" in Italian wine making by combining long traditions, a love of authenticity and a dynamic innovative spirit.
