Winemaker Notes
Le Volte comes from the best terroirs of Maremma Toscana. Our 2000 vintage displays ruby red color with hints of violet and the full, fruity aromas and deep fruit character of these three wines. On the palate, Le Volte is well balanced and harmonious, with a pleasing finish. The Mediterranean expression of Sangiovese gives the wine opulence and generosity, while Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot impart structure and complexity.
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.
