Winemaker Notes
This wine shows a ruby red color with brilliant garnet hues and a nuanced, complex bouquet of morello cherry, small red fruits in spirits, elegant spice, and delicate notes of dried tobacco. On the palate, it offers a well-defined structure with long, persistent, and rounded tannins, lifted by vibrant acidity and a savory, mineral finish. It pairs beautifully with roasted red meats and game, particularly wild boar alla cacciatora.
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.
