Coming from the coastal region of Tuscany
known as the Costa d’Argento, this is a 100%
Sangiovese wine. Ripe fruit aromas of plums
and cherries lead to a soft jammy palate. This
is a supple, concentrated wine with a long bitter
cherry flavour and some grip on the finish. The
vineyard is planted at 150 metres with views
overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the bay of
Maremma. The climate is much warmer and
less humid than the Chianti region or other
parts of central Italy and produces softer,
warmer styles of wine.
A light bodied wine
which is a blend of
50% Sangiovese, 25%
Cabernet Sauvignon
and 25% Merlot. It has
aromas of red fruits and
tarragon with a supple
raspberry palate. Grapes
were grown around the
village of Gaiole on clay Alberese soils. After
fermentation in tank, the wine spent six
months in large oak casks.

A more savoury wine
with spices and a hint
of Parmesan cheese on
the nose. Red cherries
emerge on the palate with
spicy flavours and a grippy
tannin finish. Sangiovese
was blended with 10%
Ciliegiolo – a local grape
which is parent to Sangiovese and has been
cultivated around Florence for centuries.
It is known for its cherry flavours. The
vineyard at Scannano, Rapolano is planted at
approximately 250 metres in altitude.
