James Suckling
A pretty sangiovese that shows glazed cherries, fresh herbs and red plums. Medium body, soft tannins and a fruit-driven finish.

Wine Spectator
Candied cherry and fruitcake flavors are shaded by earth notes in this taut, vibrant red. Lean and firm, with a long, earth- and tobacco-tinged finish. Drink now.
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.
