Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red color. The bouquet on the nose shows the typical fruity and spicy hints of the grape variety. On the palate it is dry, smooth and well balanced between the ripe and silky tannins and the fresh spicy aromas. Long fruity and spicy finish.
Fits to a little bit of everything, especially starters of sliced cold cuts and cheeses. Excellent with pasta with meat or vegetable sauces. Also suitable for grilled or fried meat.

On the nose, tart blackberries and black plums are balanced by the spicy warmth of green and black peppercorn and tea leaf. The palate adds nuance with sweet, cool notes of berries, damp earth and mixed herbs, beneath a dusting of salt and pepper that sets up a bright, acidic, salty finish.

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oltresogno is made in forward, fruity style. Dried herbs, leather, game, forest floor and licorice add shades of nuance, but this mid-weight Cabernet is all about forward fruit and supple tannins. This is a very good Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon. I am keenly interested to learn if more is possible.

A youthful ruby red color, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Oltresogno is expressive and ripe on the nose with aromas of toasted cedar, sweet herbs, currants, baked red berries, and pie spices. The palate offers an elegant, full-bodied feel, with refined tannins, even acidity, and a gently tapering finish.

A lightly chewy cabernet that has aromas and flavors of blackcurrants, black cherries, Spanish cedar and nutmeg. Full-bodied but fresh and tangy, with a firm finish. Drink from 2025.
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.
