"Penetrating ruby, with a garnet core. Gorgeous nose combines sandalwood, clove, lavender and mint, plus a whiff of pipe tobacco. Vibrant flavors of marzipan, cocoa and vanilla are quite concentrated and beautifully delineated. Deep, sensuous, generous and compelling."

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.
