James Suckling
A tangy cabernet with rose petal, light flower leaf and blackcurrant character. Medium to full body, silky tannins and a fresh finish. Give it a year or two to soften.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Maestro Raro is more finessed in terms of aromas and leaner in terms of mouthfeel. This vintage saw smaller production numbers: Some 8,000 bottles were produced compared to 13,000 usually made in an average vintage. The wine offers a very clean and polished approach with blackberry, plum, balsam herb, grilled rosemary and darker mocha. The cool vintage has enhanced the wine's delicate side, making for a charming and refreshing Tuscan Cabernet Sauvignon.

In the 17 published editions of Gambero Rosso, Italy’s acclaimed wine rating guide, this Tuscan estate has won the coveted Tre Bicchieri (Three Glasses) award 17 times. They are a favorite of IWM, Robert Parker, and any Tuscan wine enthusiast. And they did it by revealing the true essence of the Sangiovese grape and the Chianti Classico terroir. What this tells us is that this is a winery of consistency, producing Chianti Classicos with the ability to age up to two decades for the right vintage. Much like the great Brunello estates, it is the marriage of an ideal microclimate and the uncompromising commitment of a dedicated staff that educes the full character of Tuscany's noble grape, even in off vintages. Even more importantly, this is a producer who creates compelling wines and releases them at contained prices, making Felsina accessible to all wine enthusiasts and one of Italy's greatest values!
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.
