Winemaker Notes
Intense and complex aroma with notes of cherry, licorice, minerals and enveloping vanilla. Deep, full and elegant on the palate, intensely fruity with well integrated tannins. Complex and persistent finish.
Pair with mature cheeses, tasty first courses and game.

Red with a hint of garnet, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is ripe with aromas of ripe peaches, strawberry preserve, sweet balsamic herbs, and cedar. Medium to full-bodied, it has ripe tannins with a chalky texture, even acidity, and a clean finish. It is a very charming wine that I would prefer to drink over the next few years.

A medium-to full-bodied red with lots of ripe raspberry, cherry, cola and lightly toasted oak character. It’s rich and layered with lots going on. Needs time to come together. So try after 2025.
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.
