Malvasia and Trebbiano grapes are blended in this traditional Vin Santo from Tuscany that imparts rich and vibrant notes of almond, honey, apricot and vanilla. Oak tones emerge steadily and are rounded off by a slightly musky note: Great nutty flavors and long persistency in the mouth.

Sweet oak notes are followed by cherry, chocolate and vanilla. This is a rich Cabernet Sauvignon with a modern and very pleasurable approach that puts emphasis on power, softness and intensity. Vibrant cherry flavors last many long minutes on the palate.

Sangiovese is enhanced with 15% Malvasia Nera in this modern, rich wine. It offers sweet cherry renderings backed by blueberry, milk chocolate and molasses. Ripe and chewy in the mouth, the wine’s juicy succulence calls out for lamb, beef or game meat.

Coniale is all Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is rich in dimension and personality and delivers quality aromas of spice, tobacco, chopped herbs, almonds and bursting blackberry. It is inky and dense in consistency with a velvety mouthfeel that builds in structure thanks to gritty tannins.

Here’s a lively Tuscan Merlot with soft layers of spice and cola lavished over a solid core of black fruit. The aromas are pristine and focused and the wine makes an equally excellent impression in the mouth thanks to its soft, yielding tannins and sweet cherry flavors.

This Chianti Classico offers an immediate aromatic delivery of cola, wet earth, pressed flower, spice and a touch of sun-ripened strawberry. The wine is tight and compact on the close but delivers a fresh acidic kick on the close.
