Winemaker Notes
A beautifully aromatic single-varietal red with an excellent structure. We sort our Cabernet Franc grapes twice, first in the vineyard then at the sorting table, to make this wonderful wine.

This has a cedary, earthy nose with intense black fruit character and hints of hazelnuts and pine needles. Full-bodied, deep and structured, with firm tannins and succulent fruit in the middle. Long and persistent with a chewy finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Better after 2027.
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.
