Winemaker Notes

"Ricasoli literally wrote the book on how to make Chianti Classico." - James Suckling, Wine Spectator, January 2009".

Campo Ceni Toscano is a relatively young wine whose quality and pleasantness are derived from the freshness of the fruit, a wine Ricasoli considers to be one of the best vintages in recent years. Sangiovese and a small percentage of Merlot.

A youthful Super-Tuscan that is suitable for casual as well as sophisticated cuisine. Clean, vinous, fruity with scents of cherry, black cherry and prune. Velvety palate, delicate and sweet tannins, full-bodied and rounded.

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.
