"Bright red. Pure, floral aromas of strawberry and red cherry are lifted by hints of ripe citrus, tobacco and sweet spices. Vibrant and pure on entry, with impressive mid-palate breadth and lovely flavors of redcurrant, red cherry, tobacco and plum jam. This offers a rare combination of elegance and power, thanks to ripe acidity and sweet tannins. Finishes sweet and long, with silky tannins."

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.
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.
