Aromas of plums, blackcurrants, dark chocolate, tobacco, balsamic and cigar box. It’s medium-to full-bodied with fine, round tannins. Creamy, velvety texture. Sweet spices on the flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

The 2017 Tenuta di Ceppaiano Toscana Keith Haring is a formidable Tuscan treat. Enjoy the wine's aromas and flavors of blackberries, candied licorice, autumn leaves, and red cherries with an oregano and rosemary-accented rotisserie chicken. (Tasted: June 27, 2024, San Francisco, CA)
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.
