Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red with garnet reflections. Rich in bouquet and persistent, with hints of red berries and spices like cocoa, vanilla and coffee. Tastes warm and well-balanced, with a consistent structure of tannins which support the long finish of the wine.

Wine Spectator
Balsamic notes of wild rosemary, pine and juniper join the plum and blackberry fruit in this dense, well-proportioned red. The oak is nicely integrated and this cruises to a long, menthol- and mineral-tinged finish. Drink now through 2035.

Decanter
Intense aromas of blueberry and blackberry with smoky notes of creamy espresso. Crunchy and fresh on the palate. Vibrant and elegant.

A pretty cabernet with currant and blackberry character, as well as some crushed stone. It’s medium-bodied with good integration of tannins and a fresh a, vivid finish.
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.
