Wine Description:
Avignonesi Toscana Grifi emerges as an extraordinary red wine crafted from the harmonious blend of two late-ripening grape varieties, one indigenous to Italy and the other originating from France. This unique fusion seamlessly combines the Sangiovese's vibrant freshness with the robust backbone provided by Cabernet Sauvignon. The Sangiovese grapes thrive in Avignonesi's Montepulciano vineyards, infusing the wine with elegance and spiciness, while the Cabernet Sauvignon vines flourish in both Cortona and Montepulciano, imparting rich tannins and structural integrity. Harvested and fermented together, these grapes facilitate a perfect union. Avignonesi Toscana Grifi embodies the harmonious collaboration between Italian and French grape varietals, resulting in a wine of unparalleled complexity and sophistication.

Expert Rating:

Rubbia al Colle Olpaio Val di Cornia Suvereto is produced by the historic Antinori family and comes from the appellation of Val di Cornia Suvereto in Tuscany. This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes that are selected and harvested by hand. After maceration on the skins, the fermentation is carried out in steel and wood. The resulting wine is left to mature for at least 12 months in French oak barriques to gain added spicy complexity. This is followed by a further passage of 12 months in large barrels, where the wine refines its organoleptic characteristics, oxygenating a little further. Finally it is left in the bottle for at least 6 months before release.
