Fruit for this wine comes from one of the appellation’s oldest and most venerated vineyards. The aromas of dark roasted coffee bean, black cherry, licorice and dried herbs draw you in. Velvety, juicy cherry flavors follow. It’s a hammer in a velvet glove, a wine that wins on nuance and grace but with plenty of power behind it. Undeniable in appeal now, this is really meant for the cellar.
VIEW MOREPèppoli delivers intense notes of red fruit, especially cherries, currants and strawberries accompanied by floral undertones of violets and lavender with light, spicy hints of licorice. Its palate is defined by a soft entry, accompanied by lively sensations, and sustained by ripe tannins that lead to a fresh, savory finish.
VIEW MOREWater white with a hint of green and gold. Clear and attractive pineapple, peach, and lychee aroma, with crushed green herbs, wet stone minerality, and a hint of white pepper spice. In the mouth, it is dry, pure, and fresh with ripe pineapple, peach, and yellow apple, followed by hints of meadow grass on a hot summers day. Plenty of mineral energy and citrus-inspired flavors linger on the palate, underscored by umami.

VIEW MOREThis is a phenomenal and proudly confident vintage of the estate’s top Sangiovese, which represents a blend of organic fruit from the best parcels. The wine’s personality reveals brooding darkness and austerity, and these impressions are reinforced by savory tones of cigar smoke and earthy leather. The core of the wine is tight and richly concentrated with generous blackberry and plum. The velvety tannins are integrated but still youthful and grippy.
VIEW MOREThe 2019 Pinot Nero Case Via is a very special expression of the grape that shows darkness and increased concentration in this beautiful vintage. This wine offers a purely Tuscan take on Pinot Nero. It pours from the bottle with a dark garnet color, showing aromas of dried cherry, smoke, tar and road paving. The wine closes with a broad, mid-weight approach.
