James Suckling
A vivid and bright 2013 with deep aromas of blackberries and blueberries that turn into fresh mushrooms. Medium to full body with firm and velvety tannins, which are delicious with the fruit at the end of the palate.

Decanter
Very expressive and concentrated, showing plum, blueberry, deep strawberry and earthy mushroom over dark chocolate tannins.
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.
