âOffers an alluring bouquet of sweet berry, licorice and leather, showing hints of truffle and tar. Beautifully balanced and long, with tobacco and mineral notes chiming in on the palate and a supple texture. Finishes with a flint and iron aftertaste. Just starting to hit its stride after 20 years, with plenty of life ahead. [Biondi-Santi non-blind retrospective, July 2012.]â

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
A powerful, age-worthy Sangiovese from the warm hills of Montalcino, requiring extended aging and prized for depth and longevity.
