Wine Spectator
This red is saturated with cherry, blackberry, plum, earth and sweet spice aromas and flavors. Vibrant, with dense tannins that provide excellent support and leave a firm grip on the finish. Fine balance and a long aftertaste give a glimpse of its potential. Best from 2026 through 2040.

An attractive nose of dried porcini mushrooms, cherries and licorice root. The finish shows fine tannins and bright, saline freshness. Yet the mid-palate lacks some density and follow-through. A good wine. 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.
