"The palate offers dried black cherries, blackberries, coffee, tobacco and sage alongside firm, polished tannins. A note of ground aniseed closes the finish."

“ … this opens with aromas of blue flower, tilled earth, leather and a balsamic note. The multifaceted palate delivers wild cherry, raspberry, orange peel, menthol and cinnamon, while youthfully austere but fine tannins provide support.”

… “dried apricot and a whiff of maple syrup that carry over to the rich palate along with cream caramel and candied nectarine. The intense flavors are balanced by fresh acidity and lingering finish."

"Packaged in a beautiful bottle with string and seal, Il Puro Casanova is 100% Sangiovese with intense aromas of berry fruit, moist earth, leather and tobacco. You’ll enjoy the natural brightness and fullness it offers on the close."

“Mid ruby with orange tinges. Sweet, slightly charred cherry on the nose. Lovely concentration of sweet cherry on the palate framed by firm, chewy tannins. Drink this now to get the most out of it.”

“‘… Brilliant mid ruby with orange tinges. Nutty peppery cherry nose with hints of oak. Supple fruit with lovely tannic bite and freshness on the finish. A little flirty because of the oak right now, but will improve.”

2014 New York Wine Experience: Pairing With the Best

"'I thought the wine would be great with the trotter but did not appreciate that the acid would have absolutely no problem with the parsley, shallots and mustard.' The audience chose the Chianti."

"…unlike other areas, the Volpaia vineyards possess sandy soils, creating more elegant wines. A terrific value, this 100 percent Sangiovese riserva is elegant and complex, with floral and mineral notes."

“Dark ruby-red. Red berries, violet, rose and tobacco sing from the glass. Sweetly spicy on the palate, with cinnamon and nutmeg notes complicating the dark plum and red berry flavors. Finishes lively and bright…with polished tannins.”

"The mouthfeel is fresh and vibrant and the bouquet is redolent of candied fruit, white almond and butterscotch. There's a great amount of energy and intensity in the mouth that really sets this wine apart."

“…dark chocolate and spice backed by a much larger component of red cherry fruit and blackberry. This Riserva shows a pretty sense of restraint and authority with bright berry notes and dried spice that are integrated and fine."

"Loads of fresh-mushroom, blackberry and sliced-grilled-meat character to this. It's full-bodied with very fine, silky tannins and a savory, delicious finish…A blend of sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Organic grapes."

"Subtle but savoury notes with ripe plums, pomegranate and spice. Balanced, medium-full palate with good ripeness and decent structure; an elegant and perfumed finish with hints of leather and brisk cherry acidity."
