Description
From the renowned Tommasi family of Veneto fame, this mini-Super Tuscan wine is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon matured 12 months in oak and made in a style where rich, opulent fruit meets elegant structure. Pair with spiced charcuterie or sausages.

Tasting Notes
Dark bright red. Amarone-like opulence on the nose and in the mouth, with a raisiny nuance to the ripe, soft red cherry, sweet spice and herb aromas and flavors. So velvety and opulent I would have tasted it in Veneto had I tasted it blind, but it's so well balanced and smooth that it's pretty irresistible. Finishes long, with lush, smooth tannins and a hint of residual sweetness. I really like this wine because, for all its showy sweetness and opulence, it manages to retain a graceful quality without going over the top. Amarone lovers will score it even higher than I have. Score - 93. (Ian D'Agata, vinous.com, Dec. 2014)
