Monte Antico Rosso Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy 2018

A Tuscan classic! Deep ruby color with garnet reflections, its elegant bouquet of leather, black cherries, licorice and plums preludes a medium to full-bodied palate where ripe red fruit, gout de terroir, subtle notes of vanilla and violets harmonize and linger, interlacing with the soft tannins and silky texture. Firm backbone, perfect integration of acidity and fruit, well rounded, medium finish. 85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot.
