Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red color. The bouquet on the nose shows the typical fruity and spicy hints of the grape variety. On the palate it is dry, smooth and well balanced between the ripe and silky tannins and the fresh spicy aromas. Long fruity and spicy finish.
Fits to a little bit of everything, especially starters of sliced cold cuts and cheeses. Excellent with pasta with meat or vegetable sauces. Also suitable for grilled or short-fried meat.

James Suckling
A fruit-forward wine with aromas of cassis, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of leaves. Medium-bodied, it shows precision and layers, with firm, crunchy tannins and a chalky finish. Good length. Drink or hold.
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.
