The wine has a warm earth, tobacco-like quality that recalls this sun-drenched part of Tuscany. Its aromas include prune, dried plum and black currant with a strong presence of spice and smoke. It has smooth cherry flavors in the mouth, good structure and a medium finish.

This saturated wine has that squeaky clean, polished aroma of rubber boots in the foreground of black cherry, currant berry and exotic spice. The wine has smoky tannins and nice spice flavors over an easy, approachable mouthfeel.

A touch of cured meat, wet earth and leather give this wine a rich and opulent feel. The mouthfeel is tight and polished with compact but smooth tannins. Pair it with simple pork or lamb dishes.
