A wine with grace and
beauty with blueberry and chocolate character. Medium-to-full body, with fine
tannins and a clean finish. Sangiovese (25%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), Syrah
(35%). Delicious now but will be better in 2015.

New wine from this famous
Brunello estate. From the area of Bolgheri. I like the tangy fruit, shaved
chocolate and hints of walnuts. Full body, yet fresh and balanced. Cabernet
Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Try in 2016.

The aromas of strawberries,
cream and flan are bountiful. Full body, with soft and silky tannins and lively
acidity. Almost tangy. Fruity and lively finish. A wonderful value from one of
the benchmarks of Tuscany. 60% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20%
Merlot. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes
Aromas of blueberries,
blackberries and moss follow through to a full body, with fine tannins and a
juicy, fruity, fresh finish. Savory and lightly salty. Excellent to drink now
but better in two or three years. A delicious wine for a good price. Predominantly
Sangiovese.
Enjoy!
