Winemaker Notes
Brilliant ruby color. Elegant aromas of violets, berry and iris, confirmed on a soft, round, well-balanced palate with good body, juicy flavors and intensity.
A perfect all-around food wine to match first courses, red and white meats, and cheeses

James Suckling
A linear and fresh red with berry and cherry character. Hints of lemon. Medium finish. A little short at the end but pleasing all the same. Drink now.

Think Tuscan. That's Toscolo, Neil & Maria Empson's labor of love from a longtime passion for this extraordinary region. The name itself is a tribute to Tuscany: a Renaissance Italian word, it means "Tuscan boy." The Empsons chose their friend and star oenologist Franco Bernabei to style the wines with Neil himself. Nothing was left to chance in order to make the Empsons' proprietary brand their ideal Tuscan credentials. Maria Gemma Empson personally designed the ultraclassic packaging and the wines' characteristic "ancient seal," bearing the features of the eponymous "Tuscan boy."
