James Suckling
A silky, fresh wine with citrus fruit, plum and hints of hazelnut. Medium to full body, fine tannins, crisp acidity. Solid and beautiful. Such structure but also balance.

Wine Enthusiast
Oak, toast, menthol and a whiff of purple flowers lead the nose on this blend of Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The concentrated palate delivers dried black cherry, chocolate, vanilla and dried sage alongside tightly-packed tannins. A clove note signals the finish.
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.
