Winemaker Notes
Aroma: The varietal notes of the Sangiovese and the Merlot complement each other very well in an inviting, ample and intense bouquet: Plums and cherries, blue and black berries, raspberries and cranberries. The long ageing period in oak leaves pleasant ethereal and slightly balsamic sensations in the wine and the finish is characterised by scents of nutmeg, rosemary and tobacco.
Tasting profile: The wine is full-bodied. In spite of its massive structure, this wine is not aggressive on the palate. The tannins are pleasantly sweet and the fruity notes give a very nice, round quality to the taste. The aromatic persistence is very long and characterised by sensations of plain chocolate and pot pourri.

"This is very seductive, with deep, almost impenetrable, concentration and lively notes of black currant, spice, leather, smoke and granite. It exhibits a plush, sophisticated style and a broad, meaty mouthfeel. It has firm, chewy tannins and a thick, dense texture."
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.
