"Bright, deep ruby-red. Primary aromas of sappy dark berries, spicecake, marzipan and subtle woodsmoke. Juicy, concentrated, youthful and pure, with vibrant dark berry, chocolate and baking spice flavors complicated by a suggestion of fig. Sweet, very long finish gives an impression of strong extract. The wine's tannins are buried in fruit. Has the balance to last well in bottle. This wine benefited significantly from extended aeration, and I found myself raising my score as I came back for more."

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.
A powerful, age-worthy Sangiovese from the warm hills of Montalcino, requiring extended aging and prized for depth and longevity.
