Tuscany, Italy
Tuscany is an opulent region producing contenders for the greatest wines in the world. It is famous for the Super Tuscans, a group of wines produced using varieties of indigenous and international grapes and therefore falling outside the Appellation regulations to be granted DOC status. These wines are made on the coastal areas of the region with a maritime influence from the sea. Many of the Tuscan white wines are also produced here too.
Inland with rising altitude, famous wines of Chianti, Chianti Classico, Burnello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano are produced. The wines are so varied in style from easy drinking and fruity, to heavy and age worthy it is an exciting region to explore.

“…explodes on the mid-palate and finish with masses of super-ripe dark fruit, licorice, leather and spices. Despite its jammy, concentrated fruit the Berardo possesses gorgeous balance and a generous, enveloping finish that rounds out its flashy personality.”

"Black Cherries, plums, smoke and liquorice emerge from an opulent, beautifully layered wine that never loses its sense of underlying structure. Sage, rosemary and liquorice are some of the nuances that develop in the glass. All of the elements are very much in symmetry. A rich, super-inviting finish makes it hard to put down the glass. Girolamo is one of the most distinctive Merlots in Tuscany."

"Intense ruby-red in color with garnet rim. Corbaia shows aromas of blackberry, cherries, and hints of tobacco, vanilla and black pepper. The wine on the palate has a full body and a firm tannic structure well integrated with the wood. The wine is aged for 24 months in new barriques.

Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2013, Tuscany, Italy
Rating - James Suckling 90 points
“The 2012 Rosso di Montalcino delivers all the qualities you should expect from a food-friendly Rosso. This is a plump and easy-drinking red that ups the ante thanks to bright cherry nuances, blackberry and spicy background notes. It's a restrained, but not understated wine with balanced acidity and tight texture”. Monica Larner, February 2014.

“A young Brunello with precision and complexity showing violets, blackberries, bramble berries, tea leaf and minerals. Stone undertones, too. Full body, a compressed palate and firm and velvety tannins. Powerful and long. Truly fantastic. Breathtaking. Better in 2018. 100pts” - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, October 2015.

This is a great value for money Chianti. With its intense color and pronounced aromas of black cherry and truffle this Chianti is a real find. A truly great entry level Chianti. “The standard Chianti is unpretentious, enjoyable and a very good buy.” Gambero Rosso.
