"A 100% Sangiovese that goes beyond Chianti Classico and then surpasses most of the Brunellos currently on the market. Some might find it expensive, but the value quotient is phenomenal given the quality. With this stunning Super Tuscan it is all about the vineyard, which lies on the southern border of the Chianti Classico region."

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.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
