Winemaker Notes
First produced in 1985, this is the wine that most reflects the excellent potential of the estate. Medium-deep saturated ruby. Multifaceted nose offers blackberry, dark chocolate and coffee along with vanilla and pepper and an elegant mineral quality. Suave and stylish, with a lush texture.
A perfect compliment to steak au poivre or mushroom risotto with truffle oil.
Blend: 70% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon

Very finely groomed dark cherries and blackberries, as well as earthy and savory complexity. Nicely carved tannins that hold fresh. Vino biologico. Drink now or hold.
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.
