"Full, dark red. Ethereal, multidimensional aromas of redcurrant, plum, tar, tartufi, tobacco, cedar and coconut; this reminded me of a maturing bottle of Lafite. At once thick and penetrating, with superb concentration, depth and sheer vinosity. Bracing but ripe acidity. Firmly tannic finish features explosive fruit. Essence of Brunello."

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.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
