About this product


Conceived as our homage to the pioneering game-changing ‘Super Tuscan’ Vino da Tavola blends of Firenze (specifically Marchesi Antinori’s ‘Solaia’ from their Tenuta Tignanello) and Bolgheri in western central Italy. This blend of intensely-fruited traditional Bordelaise grape varieties and the earthy asperity of Sangiovese takes strengths from each of its requisite components to make a wine of regal rusticity that treads a path a little less travelled.
A cornucopia of earthly delights abound in the aroma underpinned by an uncommon and intriguing earthiness. A mélange of red and black wild fruits, currants, plums and cherry cola are underpinned by savoury notes of nutmeg, olive tapenade, maquis and charred capretto weaving amongst the fruit characters and a top note shout-out of leafiness. Its dense yet refined sanguineous palate is replete with juicy flavours of mulberry, blood orange, Amaretto, Szechuan pepper, black tea and cocoa powder. The all-singing all-dancing palate runs deep, reverberating with char, dark fruits and a subtle acid line enhanced by a slow build of graphitic tannins and subtle Cynar-esque bitterness. This wine is suitable for vegans.
