"Saturated, nearly opaque garnet. Seductive perfume of incense, sweet tobacco, violets and lavender on the nose. This aromatic complexity is matched on the palate by focused plum, blackberry and cassis, with mineral and graphite scents woven into the rich palette of flavors. The mouth feel is lush and the tannins are caressing. Very vibrant and fresh, this suave, eloquently proportioned, generously endowed wine closes with a sustained finish that recalls the heady scents of panforte, the Siena spice cake. A multi-layered and compelling wine."

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.
