"Deep garnet from core to rim. Powerful cherry and tobacco aromas meld with saddle leather and India ink. Very ripe plum and dark fruit flavors, with a suggestion of kirsch Quite dense and chewy, with palate-drying tannins, but also plush and juicy. An undercurrent of stony minerality bolsters the long finish. This massively extracted, brooding wine is riveting front to back. A superb offering from Ruffino Montalcino Estate."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The heartland of Sangiovese, producing Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and the Cabernet-influenced 'Super Tuscans' of the coast. Its wines balance bright acidity, savory structure and cellar-worthiness.
A powerful, age-worthy Sangiovese from the warm hills of Montalcino, requiring extended aging and prized for depth and longevity.
Tuscany's signature red, giving high-acid, savory wines of sour cherry, herbs and firm tannin. It is the backbone of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscans.
