Spicy nose; succulent and deep with toasty oak, soft spice, and notes of violets, earth, and plums; dense and balanced with a lasting finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Made with certified organic fruit, the 2013 Sangioveto is a beautiful and delicate wine that offers a floral and nuanced expression of Sangiovese. The bouquet reveals tones of rose hip and blue violets with wild berry and dark currant at the back. There are slightly sour or bitter flavors on the back end of the wine's light and lean texture. That enhanced acidity would pair nicely against cheesy pasta dishes or lasagna.
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.
