James Suckling
Very perfumed and bright with flowers, light cloves, pepper, licorice and cherries. Full-bodied, with very fine tannins and a juicy, dark-fruit finish that adds hints of black pepper and sweet tobacco. Beautiful wine. First year from organically grown grapes. A blend of syrah and sangiovese.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Pian di Nova is 75% Syrah and 25% Sangiovese, aged in neutral, two- to three-year-old barriques for 12 months. This vintage has a lovely fullness and density to it that adds to the wine's immediate appeal. Much of that extra concentration is characteristic of the hot 2015 vintage, although at its heart, this remains a relatively simple and easy-drinking red wine from sunny Tuscany.
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.
