Winemaker Notes
This is a big wine... jam packed with intense flavors thanks to a warm growing region and great attention to detail in the cellar. Oak aged for a long time, this wine has a dark color in the glass, shows strong character on the nose from intense fruit and wood.
Blend: 95% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc

Cherries and hints of citrus fruit and plums. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a fruity finish. Tight, fresh an concentrated for the vintage. Drink after 2022.

From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese).

The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
