Terre di Sandro offers a gritty, earthy bouquet with background notes of black fruit, tobacco, spice and old leather. The 2005 vintage was a hot one and this wine is already starting to show signs of aging (although crisp acidity keeps it grounded). Drink now.

Here’s a ruby-colored blend made with grapes that are native to Tuscany and central Italy that shows bright berry nuances followed by almond skin, herbs, pressed flowers and cherry cola. There is good balance here between the wine’s bright acidity and its finely textured tannins.

Here’s an easygoing red blend made with grapes that are native to Tuscany. The biggest component is Sangiovese and indeed you can taste flavors of wild berry, cherry, wet earth, violet and white mushroom. The mouthfeel is cool, crisp and informal.

From Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and his family (vintners in Tuscany for 130 years) comes this bright, cheerful sparkler. It shows crisp acidity, ease, tonic effervescence and overall harmony.

This spicy white wine offers incredibly intense aromas of candied fruit, chopped herbs and thick honey. The wine is fragrant and highly aromatic with a thick, creamy mouthfeel.
