Description
'One of the hallmarks of classic Tuscan cooking is the clever use of herbs. Thyme, sage, rosemary, and tarragon - the latter seldom found elsewhere - are added to soup, meat, and fish.

Tasting Notes
A pretty and floral blend of 85% Sangiovese, 10% Canaiolo and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, this offers rich and ripe fruit with touches of mocha. There are some dried fruit tones beginning to work their way into the mix, but this is still very youthful. Good balance and structure. Interesting and tasty. (Vintages panel, Jan. 2017)
