Winemaker Notes
This wine has an explosive olfactory impact. The wide aromatic bouquet ranges from cherry and plum jam to notes of black tea, rhubarb, and graphite, with final touches of cardamom. On the palate, it is bursting, enveloping, and deep, with a silky and linear tannin typical of a Tuscan Merlot. It is tastefully juicy and in symbiosis with the olfactory notes, giving notes of coconut and black pepper in the aftertaste.

James Suckling
Rich nose of dark cherries, blueberries, violets, licorice and moist earth. The medium- to full-bodied palate has a dusty texture and a tightly wound structure with a juicy fruit core. Slightly cedary finish with bitter spices. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
This red shows excellent depth, with a thyme and cedar edge to its black currant, blackberry and plum core. Iron and forest floor round out the complex range of flavors, while burly tannins gird the finish. Best from 2027 through 2040.
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.
