James Suckling Review
Rated 91
This is fresh and crunchy, with a medium body and a polished, chocolatey mouthfeel. Notes of spiced cherries, spices and dried citrus peel, with fine tannins and a flavorful finish. 85% sangiovese, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot. Drink now.
Wine Tasting Notes
A Tuscan classic! Deep ruby color with garnet reflections,its elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, licorice and plums preludes a medium to full-bodied palate where ripe red fruit, got 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.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
