Wine Spectator
Restrained, exhibiting black currant, cherry, cedar and sage aromas that pick up licorice, spice and mineral flavors. This is concentrated and focused, with a beam of acidity and an iron accent on the finish. Best from 2016 through 2024.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Bolgheri Rosso Volpolo (70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15 Petit Verdot) opens with dark concentration with berry nuances followed by pencil shaving and campfire ash. The finish is austere and muscular. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2020.

Podere Sapaio. Born in Bolgheri. A unique land, an exceptional terroir, a doc destination celebrated all over the world. A place where wine breathes the sea air. This is where Podere Sapaio wines have been born since 1999. There is a strong respect for the land and a sustainability approach, the two fundamentals of the wine making philosophy. Vineyard work is an expression of uncompromising harmony between man and nature. Care for the land, protection of the environment around and safeguard of the territory have always been the guiding principles of all choices made.
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.
