"This was a famous Riserva that was downgraded by the producers’ association tasting committee that once again made a mistake and confused blind tasting with being blind. The color is absolutely not as light as their report indicated and is in fact an intact, distinct and typical red. The aromas are wonderfully floral and balsamic, rich in nuances and extraordinary for their diversity. The mouthfeel has a splendid droiture, with fine and silky tannins. A splendid wine that is definitely ‘Gambelliano’, in other words with the sober and elegant style of the famous enologist Giulio Gambelli."

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.
