James Suckling
A wine with terrific texture and balance. Very polished tannins that are etheral and harmonious. Full-bodied, yet fresh, this is about combining elegance with power. It's so Latour in style. Excellent depth. Better in 2017, but so fine now. Blend of cabernet sauvigon, merlot and petit verdot.

Wine & Spirits
The Moretti family purchased this estate in Chianti Colli Aretini in the 1950s; today, fashion magnate Antonio Moretti oversees 124 vineyard acres. Oreno is the flagship wine, a blend of merlot with 40 percent cabernet sauvignon and 10 percent petit verdot aged 18 months in new French barriques. Rich and creamy, the wine maintains an agile weight, with lush purple fruit flavors seasoned with notes of anise and fennel. The flavors swirl around a firm core of tannins that channel the fruit toward a long and spicy finish.

Wine Spectator
Rich and dark, this red offers black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and earth flavors. Dense and balanced, revealing lingering oak spice notes, finishing long. Best from 2017 through 2027.
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.
