Winemaker Notes
A brilliant ruby-red color with purple highlights. The aroma is intense with elegant notes of dark fruits, among which blackberry and blueberry stand out, followed by mellow vegetal scents of aromatic herbs. The palate is rich and flavorful with measured and elegant tannins, well integrated in a lissome and harmonic body. The finish soft and persistent with a distinct base of wild berries.
Grilled vegetable pasta, mushroom & pancetta quiche and chicken sausage skewers.
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.
