Winemaker Notes
Intense ruby red color. On the nose red fruits with spicy notes of cinnamon and nutmeg and hints of tobacco. On the palate full-bodied, fresh, powerful and with elegant tannins.
Pair with pumpkin dishes, roast meat, Tagliatelle with mushrooms, mature cheeses, Florentine steak, beef steak, filet with green peppers, baked pork knuckles or wild game.

James Suckling
A linear and tight syrah with berry, cherry, sandalwood and hints of wood. It’s medium-bodied with firm and linear tannins and a touch of new wood at the end. Needs time to come together. Juicy at the end. Pure syrah. Drink after 2027
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.
