Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red, sparkling. The smells are those of red fruits, out of which Marasca cherry, typical of Sangiovese, seems to really stand out. The larger wooden barrels allow for a greater evolution in the balsamic notes and spiciness. In the mouth the tannins’ refinement balances the softness, making the wine harmonious and pleasantly persistent
Perfect with fist courses based with elaborated sauces, red meat based second courses or game, as well as with aged cheeses with mustards.
Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright cherries, spice and hints of dried flowers. Also rose stem. Medium-bodied with firm and lightly chewy tannins.

Wine Enthusiast
The nose leans sweet, with vanilla, cherries, strawberries and a touch of blood orange, but undertones of spices and earth emerge with time. Cherries also star on the palate, before buoyant acid lifts a latent heat into an astringent finish, where the nose's blood orange note blossoms.

Wine Spectator
This rich red is full of plum, cherry, iron, vanilla and oak spice flavors. The tannins are firm, leaving a light cherry pit bitterness on the persistent finish. Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
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.
