Winemaker Notes
Sella Antica is a smooth, full-bodied red blend. This deep ruby-colored wine offers voluptuous scents of ripe blueberries and blackberries, cooked plums, and spicy notes of black pepper. It continues with hints of vanilla, cocoa, and dried herbs. On the palate, it is dynamic. Rich and fresh at the same time, with bright fruit flavors, soft tannins, and a lingering taste of blackberry, cherry, and chocolate.
It is excellent with grilled and roasted meats, even in summer, as the velvety tannins allow it to be served at a cooler temperature. It is also delicious with many international cuisines, such as spicy Asian or South American platters.
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.
