"The edges of this wine are turning to brick, we finally get some of the Tuscan terracotta that until now has been remarkably missing. Here I get more obvious tertiary flavours, wonderfully soft bramble fruits. The heat of this vintage has softened the fruit structure to the point that it has now slid out of focus. But this has been exchanged by a spicy warmth and a relaxed invitation to enjoy. It is not as impressive as the 1990 perhaps, but this is still a wine of generosity and warmth."

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.
