Ochre . . . . it still seems to have a long life ahead. There is still a beautiful floral note, with proud whiffs of cocoa and tobacco. A sweeping nose, showing a range of a thousand aromas that follow one another and chase each other, from cherry to tar, from ripe fruit to oriental spices. A machine gun of aromas, including sandalwood, incense, face powder, mocha, green pepper, licorice, sweet spices. Slight wrinkles in its expression do not age it but rather seduce: it is the charm of maturity. Great also on the palate, balanced and long, powerful and alluring.

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.
