"This rich Merlot from Frescobaldi's Tenuta di Castelgiocondo estate in Montalcino offers inky black consistency and aromas of red beet, moist earth, ash and smoked bacon backed by loads of plump blackberry. It's sweet and succulent in the mouth with chewy tannins and a very attractive velvety feel on the close."

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.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
