"Extravagant aromas of crystallized black raspberry, leather, espresso, pepper, bitter chocolate and spice. Big and lush, with sappy, extremely rich black raspberry and cassis flavors complicated by leather, pepper and dark chocolate nuances. Dense and creamy. Finishes with suave tannins and superb length. Already accessible thanks to the richness of the vintage, this silky, powerful wine should deepen and gain in complexity with bottle aging. This was the first vintage made in the new cantina, all by gravity. There will be a single-vineyard '97, but this wine includes the juice that normally goes into the riserva bottling."

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.
The historic heart of the Chianti zone, producing Sangiovese-based reds of bright cherry fruit, savory herbs and firm structure.
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.
