This blend of seven grapes (Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese are present in the largest quantities) presents brawny, masculine aromas of leather, tobacco, cured meat and dark fruit. It feels on the ripe side, with chewy prune and plum flavors that are backed by a textured, velvety finish.

Here’s a blockbuster, biodynamic blend of Merlot, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Mouvèdre, Petit Verdot and Grenache. Together, these varieties create a dark, brooding wine with notes of mature black fruit, raisins, leather, spice and beautiful intensity. It’s a chewy, rich wine with creamy glycerin in the mouth.

Caiarossa is a blend of eight grape varieties (the largest percentages are of Sangiovese and Cabernet Franc), which displays loads of bright fruit and white cherry backed by tart acids and tight tannins. There’s a sweet note as well but the wine needs another five years of cellar aging.

Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are blended to create a soft, luscious wine that’s loaded with bright cherry, rich chocolate and mocha flavors. It would pair beautifully with steak in green-pepper cream sauce.

Small additions of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon result in an elegant blend with measured fruit intensity and lasting impressions of blue flowers, licorice and almond paste. You can really taste the delicate Sangiovese component.
