"Shaded by sweet spicy oak for now, this red features plenty of plum, black cherry, sage and licorice flavors, finishing on the burly side thanks to the muscular tannins, yet there's a lot of fruit that, with air, comes to the fore. Excellent length and persistence. Carmenère, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc . . . . [Only] 60 cases imported."

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.
