"A Tuscan classic! Deep ruby colour with garnet reflections, its elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, liquorice and plums preludes a medium to full-bodied palate where ripe red fruit, goût de terroir, subtle notes of vanilla and violets harmonize and linger, interlacing with the soft tannins and silky texture. Firm backbone, perfect integration of acidity and fruit, well rounded, medium finish."

"Deep ruby in color. Rich bouquet of cherries, plums, and iris. Deep cherry and leather flavors with subtle wood notes. Supple tannins, good acidity, and a lingering finish."

"Ruby red with garnet streaks. Notes of candied fruits and spices the transition to ­underbrush, tea and amber hints. Tannins and acidity find a pleasant balance. Pairs well with roast veal, lamb, game and ripe cheeses."
