"The 1985 vintage from Emidio Pepe is really a stellar bottle of wine at its apogee of peak drinkability, soaring from the glass in a complex and truly beautiful bouquet of red berries, cherries, a nice touch of meatiness, orange peel, cigar ash, botanicals, woodsmoke, fresh oregano and a superb base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very transparent, with a lovely core, excellent focus and grip, still a touch of backend tannin and a very long, complex and tangy finish. A superb vintage for Signor Pepe, the 1985 is drinking with great style and refinement today!"

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.
