From the Grossetto region in the Maremma (by the sea) of Tuscany this warm, ripe red provides gobs of sweet ripe cherry and chocolate, crushed flowers and undertones of woodsy notes and tobacco. It's full and supple on the palate with flavours of spiced cherries, leather, cigarbox and coffee and a long spicy finish.
This wine hails from one of the properties owned by celebrity chef Lidia Bastianich, her son Joseph and Mario Batali.
