Wine & Spirits
This wine feels healthy and brisk, a substantial sangiovese that’s structured without any obvious edges, the tannins and acidity firm and complementary. That structure allows the fruit to extend into a range of reds, a tessellation of shades from strawberry to pomegranate. Clean and fragrant, this is a pleasure to drink now and will develop further in bottle.

Tasting Panel
Silky and loaded with earth, spice and plum; mature, balanced and long with complexity and finesse.

Wine Spectator
An elegant red, offering cherry, strawberry and tobacco notes matched to a lean frame. Balanced, refined and persistent, with a lingering finish. Drink now through 2022. 8,000 cases made.
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.
