Wine Enthusiast
This is a generous Bordeaux blend from Coastal Tuscany with luscious notes of chocolate, spice, sweet cherry, leather and pipe tobacco. There’s a note of ripe fruit as well and the mouthfeel is driven by a powerful blast of exotic spice, clove and cardamom. Pair it with succulent sirloin.

Wine Spectator
Offers beautiful blackberry and currant, with hints of toasty oak. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. Polished and silky-textured. A very pretty young wine.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2006 Coronato, from the Pianali estate in Bolgheri, is a boisterous, full-bodied red that explodes from the glass with masses of ripe, dark fruit. The wine possesses terrific richness and density in a full-bodied, opulent style that stands apart from the other wines in this line-up.
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.
