This bold and fruity wine is made from a combination of French grape varietals that flourish under the Tuscan sun, in the mineral Tuscan soil, offering many layers of complexity to this smooth wine. Plenty of dark fruit and little wilderness paired with a big body with plenty of layered aromas and flavors, with a long finish. A real treat for all the senses.
