This is a very generous blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (90%) and Syrah from Bolgheri, Coastal Tuscany that offers full aromas of ripe, luscious plum and blackberry backed by well-integrated wood tones of exotic spice and moist tobacco. The wine is dense and inky in the mouth with soft tannins and a long finish of ripe fruit flavors.

This is an impressive, oak-aged expression of Vermentino in a world that usually sees this variety fermented in a simple, fresh manner. This wine has a bigger ideal in mind: To be an important Italian white and it achieves its objective beautifully. Pair it with lobster or white meat.

Emilio Primo (a pretty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah) opens with fresh fruit tones and drying mineral, backed by sweet spice and toasted almond. In the mouth, the wine is direct and sharp with piquant freshness on the close.

Marchesale is a superripe and rich Syrah from Coastal Tuscany with intense aromas of vanilla, coffee and plump cherry. The wine is soft, smooth and silky and spreads over the palate with power and determination. Pair this beautiful wine with mixed grilled meat.

The oak notes are more evident here (compared to the 2005 vintage) and need a few more years to integrate with the wine’s ripe, pulsing fruit. You’ll get soft blackberry, spice and leather and the wine is broad and generous on the palate with soft tannins and excellent length. The blend is Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.

Here’s a simple, fresh Vermentino that shows lively tones of yellow fruit, kiwi and a touch of freshly cut grass. The wine is tonic, crisp and keeps the palate clean. Screw cap.

Here’s a ripe and generous Tuscan blend with mature notes of black cherry and blackberry backed by thick extraction and extraordinary intensity. This is the kind of wine you’ll need to pair with succulent cuts of beef thanks to the firm tannins and delicious richness it imparts in the mouth.

Marchesale is one of the best Italian expressions of Syrah available today. Aged two years in oak, the wine is smooth and textured with fine tannins and a long spicy aftertaste. At the core of the wine is a beautiful bouquet of red berry, pepper, smoked meat and cherry cola.

Il Tarabuso is a rich and spicy expression of Cabernet Sauvignon (blended with 10% Syrah for extra spice and softness on the finish) that would pair with a hearty plate of grilled sausage and white beans. Aromas here include black fruit, spice, cola and sweet cherry.
