Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Torrione is made mainly from pure Sangiovese grapes, both those that come from historic vines of the 70s and ones more recently planted with high density. The yield per plant is notably restricted allowing a concentration of all the noble components of the grape, fundamental for the full-bodied character of this wine.

Blend: 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Professional Ratings

  • 93
    Flamboyant aromas of crushed blueberries and blackberries. Full body, soft tannins that give the wine a creamy texture and wonderful length. Fresh, clean and delicious. Drink or hold.
  • 91
    Black currant and cherry flavors are accented by sage and tobacco notes in this rich, solid red. Shows density and suppleness, finishing long and grippy. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.

A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
