Winemaker Notes
Ample and warm, provided with great freshness and complexity. The typical varietal notes are highlighted by gentle scents of vanilla. Rich wine with a great structure and ripe pleasant tannins. The aftertaste is deep and lasting. The fruity aromas are well balanced with the typical notes of the barriques.

Wine Spectator
Loaded with juicy raspberry, cherry and boysenberry fruit, this is delicate in flavor and muscular in structure. Graphite and leafy, underbrush accents round out the profile. Still fresh and young, this weaves fruit flavors around the tannins for a long, detailed aftertaste. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Best from 2020 through 2028.

A firm red with plum, cherry and terracotta character. Medium to full body and chewy tannins. Seriously good for a 2014. Drink now.
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.
