Winemaker Notes
This Riserva, from 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot, achieves further depth, richness and elegance from its élevage, partly in large oak casks for 12 months, and partly in barrique for 6 months. Top vintages improve for well over a decade.

Think Tuscan. That's Toscolo, Neil & Maria Empson's labor of love from a longtime passion for this extraordinary region. The name itself is a tribute to Tuscany: a Renaissance Italian word, it means "Tuscan boy." The Empsons chose their friend and star oenologist Franco Bernabei to style the wines with Neil himself. Nothing was left to chance in order to make the Empsons' proprietary brand their ideal Tuscan credentials. Maria Gemma Empson personally designed the ultraclassic packaging and the wines' characteristic "ancient seal," bearing the features of the eponymous "Tuscan boy."
