Winemaker Notes
Ferraio is a wine with a bright character. It should be drunk young to appreciate its very pleasant floral notes of violet and hyacinth as well as those of red fruit such as blackberries and currants. It has a good structure and body, but remains an easy to drink and refreshing wine.
A wine that can be enjoyed day in and day out with any meal.
Blend: 50% Sangiovese, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon

A creamy, fine-tannined red with some black-cherry and black-olive character. Medium body. Fresh finish. From organically grown grapes. Needs time to soften. Better after 2024.
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.
