Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red in color, this wine shows aromas of fruit and spice typical of the grape variety. On the palate, it is dry, smooth and well-balanced, with ripe and silky tannins and a long, fruity and spicy finish.
Pair with starters such as sliced cold cuts and cheese. Also excellent with pasta with meat or vegetable sauces and grilled or short-fried meat.

Wine Spectator
Offers black currant and plum flavors shaded by cedar, shiso leaf and a touch of spice. Features fine ripeness and a saline element midpalate, before firming up. Moderately astringent finish. Best from 2023.

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).

The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
