Winemaker Notes
Produced entirely form Merlot grapes in a Vineyard located on the higher part of the Ruffoli hill in the heart of Chianti Classico. An aromatic impact which amazes for its originality and convinces with its sobriety on the palate, the sensations of richness, fullness, and amplitude with which its flavors are endowed.

James Suckling
Ripe and pretty deep nose despite the savory tone of fruit. Baking spices, sandalwood, mushrooms and chili chocolate. Plenty of ductile, melted tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate with excellent concentration and a rich, lasting finish. Drink or hold.

Wine Spectator
A generous, fleshy red, with green olive and juniper notes shading blackberry and black currant fruit. Shows vanilla and toasty oak accents that are nicely folded in, with a hint of dusty tannins on the spicy finish. Delivers fine balance overall. Merlot. Best from 2026 through 2042.
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.
