100 JS âThe floral aromas are spellbinding, with aromas of violets, lilacs, orange peel, raspberries, rose petals, and some oranges. Itâs medium- to full-bodied with crunchy and open-grain tannins that are creamy and caressing. Itâs endless in the finish. Crunchy and energetic. A wine that is thoughtful and gives you such great pleasure. Such purity. Itâs like eating perfectly ripened grape must. Pure merlot. Drinkable in many ways, but will come together beautifully. A new reference point for merlot in Italy.â 99 RV ". . . concentrated in the glass showing notes of black prunes, plums, blackberries, camphor and white flowers. A lot of wild violets dominate the secondary scene, lending complexity to a structure that is of exemplary craftsmanship. In the background, power alternates with grace with deep notes of quinine, rhubarb and mandarin peel combined with white flowers and calendula. Full bodied, with the tannins slightly rigid at the moment but they will lengthen over time, and a decisive, enveloping finale . . ."

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.
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.
