Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red. Full and persistent with lifted floral notes, followed by berry fruits and a hint of forest floor. Typical Sangiovese aromas, redolent of Montalcino. Warm, dry, generous and well-balanced. Bright, fresh acidity with depth and Montalcino character. Great length and persistence.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Il Palazzone's NV Rosso del Palazzone is a pure expression of Sangiovese with 90% of the fruit from the 2016 vintage and 10% from the much hotter and riper 2017 vintage. This interesting blend of vintages offers the focus and definition of the 2016 season with some of the darker and jammy tones of 2017, but these contrasting profiles have been nicely ironed out and balanced. Enjoy it with a pappardelle and ragù.

Vinous
Spicy, fruit-forward and undeniably fun, the NV Rosso del Palazzone aims to please. It is silky smooth and juicy in character and has zesty acidity and masses of mineral-tinge cherry-berry fruits. It finishes with admirable length and concentration yet is still wonderfully fresh.
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.
