Winemaker Notes
#28 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025
Intense mauve-red color. The sweet and fruity aromas are accompanied by notes of vanilla. Elegant wine, in which the fullness and softness of the body are well-balanced by a good acidity. Good and persistent finish on the palate.
Particularly versatile wine, which goes excellent with savory first courses, as well as meat main courses. Easy to drink, is perfectly suited to more informal situations, such as aperitifs.

Sleek despite dusty tannins, this red displays blackberry, plum and boysenberry fruit, accented by spices and earth. Bright acidity keeps this focused. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2030.
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.
