A juicy and berry-expressive red with hints of stones, roasted herbs and spices. Smooth and succulent on the palate with chalky tannins and a textured, smoothly rendered center palate tapping into a fresh, medium-long finish. Drink now.

Wine Spectator
A beefy red signaled by cherry, plum, earth and Mediterranean scrub notes offset by lively acidity. More earthy than fruity, with assertive tannins. Sangiovese, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2033.
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.
