Winemaker Notes
Intense aromas of blackberries, candied plum, herb and spices. Fresh and fruity, with earthy and mineral characteristics, fine tannins, and a long silky finish.

Wine Enthusiast
The nose is ferrous and salty with aromas of bright red fruit, earth, Mediterranean herbs and citrus peel. Ripe, soft notes of cherries and berries emerge on the palate, even as that tangy salinity of citrus and herbs persists. A super friendly, easy wine.
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.
