The 2013 Ampeleia, the estate's Cabernet Franc/Sangiovese blend, is fabulous. Sweet red cherry, pomegranate, orange peel and intense, savory notes meld together in a deep, juicy Tuscan red full of personality. All the elements fall into place effortlessly.

Focused, with raspberry and cherry fruit verging on jammy, yet this stays fresh. Picks up earth and licorice accents as this plays out on the long finish. Drink now through 2023. 415 cases made.
