Winemaker Notes

Fruit is foremost: Marasca cherry meets ripe plum in a gutsy,full-bodied package. On the palate there is ample fruit,freshness and quite a bit of body: the tannins are boldbut countered by so much fruit that they attain an almostmocha-vanilla sweetness and come across and smoothon the dense, full body. The finish is warming and rounded,a mouthful of big, fruity exuberance that keeps its mojofor quite a number of years. (A. Krebiehl MW)

Romitòro is an elegant blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot thatexpresses the benefits of a moderate climate such asTuscany’s, where vines grow naturally without needingirrigation and yield an excellent quantity and quality of fruit.

The resulting wine is a bold Super Tuscan that attests to thefact that French varietals can thrive in Tuscany andgive exceptional quality, whilst retaining an undeniablyTuscan character.

This wine is aged for approximately 12 months in oak and isunfiltered.

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