Winemaker Notes
Deep red, elegant and with intense scents. On the nose, the sweet notes of plum and blackberry jam are accompanied by hints of vanilla, coffee and tobacco. Powerful and soft structure, with sweet and elegant tannins. Long and persistent finish.
A long aging wine perfect with soups, red and white meats.

James Suckling
Aromas of ripe black currants and plums, layered with cedar, tobacco and hints of spice. Compact and meaty, with a full body and a dense core of fruit framed by velvety tannins. Rich yet balanced and poised.

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).
