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, it has a dark color in the glass, shows strong character on the nose from intense fruit and wood.

James Suckling
This has aromas of blackcurrants, blackberry leaves, eucalyptus, rose petals and bell peppers. Expressive and fleshy, with a full body, polished tannins and delicious herb elements to complement the ripe berry fruit. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From the Famiglia Cecchi group, the Val delle Rose 2019 Maremma Toscana Rosso Aurelio has a hint of garden herb or rosemary on top of ripe cherry fruit and blackberry preserves. There is a ripe side to this Merlot-based wine that shows strong, and there is a savory component with tobacco and cured tea.

Wine Enthusiast
The nose is a blend of spice, sanguinity, herbaceousness, stone and soil, with hibiscus and strawberry undertones providing a pleasing softness. The herbs and earth carry the palate, above medicinal roots and a sour pop of cherry. The earthiness brings out the tannins' chalkiness, but the mouthfeel remains smooth.
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).

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