Winemaker Notes
In the glass it has an intense ruby-red color. It has a decisive bouquet with floral notes and nuances of red berry fruit and a spicy finish. On the palate it is soft and enveloping. Pleasant to drink, Pian di Nova has a good balance which makes it a versatile wine that one never tires of drinking.
Blend: 75% Syrah, 25% Sangiovese

A crunchy and delicious red with berries, white pepper and other spices. Medium body, creamy tannins. Juicy at the end.
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.
