"Bright and clear but with a dense and decisive profile showing notes of blue flowers, white flowers, guarana, basil, juniper berry, licorice, black cherry, clove, and vetiver. The wine’s extremely complex sensorial matrix is immediately evident but with time in the glass it evolves and turns in different directions. Full bodied, with perfectly silky tannins of splendid elegance and finesse and a spicy, three-dimensional and decidedly Mediterranean finish. The time has come to consecrate Oreno as the best wine ever made by the family …”

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 world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
A deeply colored, tannic Bordeaux blending grape adding color, structure and floral, spicy complexity in small proportions.
