Winemaker Notes
The color is deep, intense and dark with violet tones. On the nose it reveals its unique complexity. This wine is elegant, rich in black and red fruits, with a touch of the underbrush and with an aftertaste of spices such as green and black pepper and balsamic hints. In the mouth, this wine is rich, complex, powerful and balanced with elegant tannins. The aftertaste is long and spicy.

Aromas of blackberries, tar and bark. Complex. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. Fresh and vivid. Seamless. 50% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 15% syrah. Beautiful to drink now, but will be even better in three or four years.
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.
