Winemaker Notes
Donna Olimpia 1898 Tageto is a deep ruby red color with purple hues. Clean ample bouquet on the nose with notes of small red fruits, pepperoni, chocolate, and licorice. Well-structured, soft and very harmonious with sweet tannins and lingering fruit in the finish.

Lots of ripe fruit and round tannins with some hints of vanilla. It’s full-bodied with a round texture. Fruity and juicy at the finish. Blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petit verdot and cabernet franc.
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.
