Characteristics: Here's a confident red Tuscan red blend. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Sweet berry and fresh herbs on the nose. Full bodied, with soft, velvety tannins. Notes of wild berries, ripe juicy sour cherries and hints of sweet spices. This is Italy - in a not-so-expensive, approachable way.
- Wine Tasting Notes by JN, February 2011

Region: Tuscany, Italy.
•Grapes: Merlot 60%, Cabernet Sauvignon 35%, Cabernet Franc 5%.
•Ageing: in various types of barriques for at least 12 months.
•Refinement in bottle: 6 months.
•Alcohol content: 13% vol.
•Serving temperature: 18°C.
Characteristics: Lagone has a warm deep red colour close to purple. Delicate aromas of Mediterranean wood and vanilla emphasize the structured and elegant taste with intense notes of wild berries, ripe juicy sour cherries and hints of sweet spices that leave the palate satisfied and pleasantly sweet and dry. Tibor Gál has been able to create a blend marked by the Italian "terroir" together with the "finesse" of a great French red wine. The wine is well structured with a strong and mellow texture. In short, a modern red wine of the best quality.

Characteristics: Rich and smooth with blackberry and black currants, this is an easy varietal wine that depicts Cabernet Sauvignon's softer smoother side with mild tannins and a gentle acidity. The fruit comes forward and the texture is supple and remarkably easy drinking -a Cabernet for sipping or supping alike!

Characteristics: On the same hill as Sassicaia just below, this red is a stunning value –STUNNING! Spicy and woodsy brambly fruit tug on the palate in a nervy tension of juicy acids and fine knit tannins. Big without over extraction, expansive without any doughnut holes, this is a complete Super Tuscan for a song considering its premier quality.
