Tuscan Style Red Wine
Montepiano Label

The rage in Tuscany is Sangiovese blended with exotic combinations of Italian and/or Bordeaux varities. Our Tuscan style wine is blended to taste reminiscent of a classic Italian Chianti.   A predominance of Sangiovese, blended together with a variety of grapes such as Barbera and Shiraz, creates a complex and spicy, yet smooth and approachable complement to any meal.   The result is a wine with rose and cherry aromas, complex flavors of vanilla and oak, and a long and delicious finish.   10,000 cases produced.
