Winemaker Notes

Concentrated ruby red color. Intense aromas of full ripe red fruits like blackberries and morello cherries. Spicy and toasty notes of black pepper, chocolate and vanilla supported by hints of herbs, topsoil, leather and tobacco. Very complex, elegant and harmonious. Full body, velvety well supported by a marked freshness and smooth tannins. Very long and fruity aftertaste.

Blend: 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 50% Syrah

    Plenty of blueberries, lavender, violets and other flowers on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with round, creamy tannins and a juicy, fruity finish. Love the focus and clarity in this wine. May be the best ever from here. Drink in 2022, but already beautiful.

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.
