Winemaker Notes
Bright ruby red to the eye. On the nose, crunchy red fruit, balsamic notes, hints of spices with hints of cumin, tobacco and sensations of freshly processed leather. On the palate a perfect balance, elegant tannic texture with notes of tobacco and licorice. The long persistence closes this wine making each sip an unforgettable experience.
Pair with red meat dishes, roast, grilled meats, game and mature cheeses.

Aromas of fresh herbs, tea leaf, coffee and dark fruit such as blackberry as well as bark and cedar that follow through to a medium-bodied wine with firm and juicy tannins and a fresh vivid finish. Lightly chewy. Just a hint of vanilla and cedar at the end. Best after 2026. Drink 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.
