Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 04/09. This blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot clearly looks to Bordeaux for inspiration, although the black mushroom flavors and earthy tannins plant it firmly in Tuscany. It gains more depth and mineral character with air, a counterbalance to the rich texture and ripe blackberry fruit. An elegant, stately pour for a ribeye.

Rating for Italy-Tuscany: 96 (excellent)<br/><br/>Drinkability: too young, let it sit<br/>
