2014 - lively red berry fruit, rose petal with a touch of tobacco. Tannins are unobtrusive and the acidity is refreshing. Dry wine for everyday drinking - a lovely Tuscan blend.

Cilegiolo & Merlot - fantastic value with stunning nose of cherry fruit with layers of musk, soil, damp Earth, saddle leather, spice, tobacco, cocoa and I’m sure I’m missing something! Complex and luscious - just enough acidity to carry flavors thru but this is also fairly sturdy so pairing opportunities abound.

Nice. Light red but tannic enough that it isn't lame.

Bright cherry and tart berry with tobacco/olive notes. 80% ciliegiolo with the rest Sangiovese. Good sipping wine with light body and barely noticeable tannins.
