Ferruccio Ferragamo is better known for running the family's high-fashion business, but he and his son, Salvatore, have spent the past 20 years building Tuscany's best, if still "under the radar," super-Tuscan operation about 60km south east of Florence.  This is their flagship wine, a powerful blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet and 15% Syrah aged 18 months in new French oak.  Already exciting with a decant, this is a powerful super-Tuscan for rich foods and will shine brightest from 2019 - 2033.

James Suckling: 97 Points

“Aromas of blackberries, tar and bark. Complex. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. Fresh and vivid. Seamless. 50% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 15% syrah. Beautiful to drink now, but will be even better in three or four years.”

Wine Spectator: 93 Points

“A supple, almost opulent red, with a core of ripe raspberry and kirsch. Features floral, wild herb and iron notes that provide depth, and the firm structure keeps this buoyant and well-defined. Reveals hints of vanilla that leave a spicy impression on the long finish. Best from 2024 through 2033.”
