This Chianti Classico Rocca di Castagnoli is a wine with excellent complexity and structure. The wine shows itself in the glass a beautiful purple-red to red color. In the nose pleasant aromas of cherry scent, combined with spiciness, violets and almond. In the mouth this Chianti is very juicy with beautiful acids and ripe, lively tannins that, also in the long finish, provide a good harmony. This wine is made from 90% Sangiovese grapes and 10% Canaiolo and Colorino. The grapes come from the 63 hectare plots located around the medieval fortress in the village after which the winery is named. The soil type varies from parts that are rich in Macigno del Chianti and other sandstone to soils that mainly consist of Alberese, limestone areas and schistose argillites, mainly 'Galestro'.

This Morellino di Scansano from Poggio Maestrino is a wine with excellent complexity, structure and elegance. It has an intense, bright red color and a rich aroma of small red fruits and herbs. The wine is made from 100% Sangiovese grapes selected from the best exposed areas where production quantities have been reduced to obtain the most perfect concentrations. The Morellino has enveloping, complex and persistent aromas that emphasize the ripe (Marasca) cherries and has a pleasant aftertaste with spicy and balsamic notes. The bottle aging gives it an exquisite elegance and soft taste.

The Vino Nobile is the company's calling card. Most of the bottles are produced here. The wine has been produced by the house since 1968, and little has changed in the grape composition and the maturation method and duration since then. The wine represents everything the house stands for: freshness, elegance, complexity and great maturation potential. After the manual harvest, the wine ferments spontaneously in large oak barrels. This ensures a beautiful integration of the wood in the wine. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to 500-litre Allier barrels and large Slavonian oak barrels, where it matures for 18 to 24 months. The different wines are carefully blended into this elegant Vino Nobile. Inviting aromas of ripe cherries and plums, spiciness and subtle wood on the nose. Soft in taste with elegant notes of juicy cherry fruit, complemented by round tannins and beautiful acids.

This Geografico Chianti Colli Senesi is a beautiful purple-red colour in the glass. Intensely scented in the nose with fruit of amarena cherries and a light spiciness, and in the mouth wonderfully fresh with a fairly light structure with subtle tannins. The wine is made from Sangiovese and a small percentage of Canaiolo. The addition of the classic grape variety Canaiolo gives the main grape variety Sangiovese extra character and depth.

The Costanti Rosso di Montalcino is a Classic Rosso from a top producer. In the glass it has a deep ruby red color. The wine is complex on the nose with aromas of ripe cherries, juicy blackberries and blackcurrants. In addition, there are notes of balsamic vinegar and, due to the oak influence, vanilla and toast. The wine develops some sultry aromas of marzipan, caramel and 'game'. In the mouth, the wine is sultry and ripe in attack with a full body and ripe tannins that support the wine beautifully. In the aftertaste, the aromas of ripe fruit and caramel can be found. The wine has undergone 1 year of maturation on 500 liters of oak.

San Gimignano is the 'Manhattan of the Middle Ages' and a beautiful place but it is also an appellation where unique wines are made from the Vernaccia di San Gimignano from which a dry white wine is made that is produced exclusively in the Italian municipality of San Gimignano in the Tuscany region. In the glass the Geografico Vernaccia di San Gimignano is light yellow with an elegant and aromatic nose with lots of white fruit and some herbs. In the mouth surprisingly fresh and fruity, with a good structure and a slightly bitter that gives the wine power. Simply a wonderful glass of wine.
