Having spent two years in oak barrel, this Merlot has a generous, yet elegant shape, and it delivers intensity and elegance. The bouquet offers tones of black cherry, spice, chocolate and rum cake, with delicate accents of licorice and dried herb. The mouthfeel is smooth and rich.

Girolamo is a Merlot from the southern part of Chianti Classico that does a remarkable job of being modern and delicate at the same time. On the one hand, you get rich notes of chocolate, cherry and coffee, but on the other, you get ethereal nuances of blueberry, spice and cola. Ready to drink.

Sophisticated and intense, this is an extraordinary wine that performs beautifully both in terms of nose and mouth. The aromas are broad and all-encompassing, including blackberry, red currant, vanilla and pretty shadings of exotic spice. The mouthfeel is lively and generous and lasts a very long time.

Berardo Riserva is an amazing achievement with elegant beauty and perfumed aromas of blue flowers, forest fruit and spice. Great structure and a naturally smooth consistency help support the tight tannins.

Gorgeous and elegant, this demonstrates Tuscany’s sweetest side. Trebbiano, Sangiovese and Malvasia undergo long aging to obtain impressive thickness and intensity of flavor. The lengthy finish is driven by notes of candied fruit, honey and brown sugar.

Corbaia is a super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon that opens with intensity and bright fruit flavors. It boasts a soft, silky feel with a firm tannic bite followed by cassis, earth and wild mushroom. Very nice.

Girolamo is a wine you can’t get enough of. It’s soft and luscious with ripe cherry, chocolate and tobacco overtones. It feels smooth and finely textured on the finish with a long, fruit-driven endnote. Pair this beautiful expression from Tuscany with pulled beef or marinated pork.

This Vin Santo-inspired dessert wine (aged 96 months in oak) shows dark aromas of resin, tar, spicy ginger, butterscotch and caramel. The wine’s color is deep amber and copper and the mouthfeel is rich, chewy and extremely persistent.
