Extremely elegant but also understated, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese needs a few minutes in the glass before it reveals itself fully. Once it does, it offers beautiful notes of wild berries, spice and leather. The wine speaks highly of coastal Tuscany and offers a surprising blast of cool cherry on the close.

This gorgeous vintage of L’Alberello (Cabernet Sauvignon with Cab Franc and Petit Verdot) is elegant and refined thanks to its focused aromas of mineral, black fruit, chocolate fudge and spice. The soft, but rich mouthfeel would pair with pork cutlets marinated with aromatic sage.

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese, this beautiful Bolgheri blend exhibits enormous purity and elegance.

Despite the obvious quality of this wine—obvious in its vibrant ruby color and full bouquet of berry and spice aromas—there’s a tiny touch of something pungent that recalls kerosene or alcohol. The structure is firm and solid without being bulky and it delivers flavors of small berry fruit.
