Winemaker Notes
Mediterra perfectly reflects the terroir of Bolgheri and expresses a fantastic balance between the freshness of its fragrances and its warm and powerful structure. Its peppered notes typical of the Syrah are intermingled with aromas of fruits of the Mediterranean.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2006 Mediterra is 40% Syrah, 30% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon made from the estate’s youngest vineyards. The wine possesses awesome clarity in its dark fruit, flowers, graphite and grilled herbs, with a long, powerful finish. This delicious Tuscan wine offers incredible value. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016.
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.
