Thoroughly modern, Tuaca goesback a ways, too; to the Renaissance, in fact, when Italy wentinto artistic overdrive. Apparently Lorenzo the Magnificent(no ego there, obviously) had this citrus and vanilla delightconcocted for him; a few hundred years later, GI Joes andJanes hanging in Italy got a taste for it, brought it back to theUS: kaboom! Frenzy. Grab yourself some, and taste what allthe fuss is about.Selected from leading SouthAustralian and Victorian vineyards,this is distinguished by a ripe fruitpresence from the very first sip tothe last lingering aftertaste. It isdominated by rich berry and plumflavours nicely integrated withvanillin oak and enhanced by suppletannins. It’s already drinkingwell, but will continue to developfurther.was $18.90 now $16OR BUY 7 for 6 ONLY $13.71 A BOTTLE11
