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.

This wine is actually 80% Ciliegiolo 20% Sangiovese, and it's delicious

Fun to drink. Well balanced. Velvet tannins, red and black berries, tobacco, and mocha.

80% ciliegiolo, 20% Sangiovese. Really great for the price, lovely fruit with some complex notes of chocolate and liquorish. Supple tannins.

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.
