On the palate, the wine displays a fine depth of deep, spicy fruit flavor, rich in cinnamon and liquorice characters with a background of dusty, soft ripe tannins. The rich core of dark fruit is supported by a long, elegant finish.

Ruby red in color, with garnet hues. Aromas typical of Sangiovese cultivated in Montalcino prevail: notes of violets, roses, wild cherries and plums intertwine with walnuts, coffee beans, chocolate and dried figs. On the palate, it is balanced and elegant in structure, showing excellent aging potential. The finish is generous, with sweet fruity notes and subtle hints of rosemary and white pepper.

The taste is fragrant and the structure is harmonious with notes of golden apple, sage and figs. The aromatic persistence is characterised by scents of orange peel and honey.

A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet. A soft luscious wine that is elegant and harmonius. Grapes are picked individually and then blended with great care.

The 2004 Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale Oro remains the bellwether wine from this historic property. It is a layered, full-bodied wine with attractive notes of tobacco, sweet red cherries, wild herbs and toasted oak. The wine’s density, persistence and complexity make it one of the better versions in recent memory

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate : 91 "The 2003 Romitorio Tenuta di Santedame is easily the most interesting of these wines. A blend of 60% Colorino and 40% Merlot, it reveals complex, kaleidoscopic aromatics that develop beautifully in the glass leading to layers of sweet dark fruit, mint, herbs and toasted oak. Richly concentrated in the palate, it offers outstanding depth of expression and a long, sweet finish."

An abundance of cherry and plum fruit flavors are backed by a rich, balanced structure for an intensely complex Merlot. Silky, full-flavored, firm, and built for today’s enjoyment with smooth tannins and lush layers of flavor.

The 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon emulates the fruity and complex wines which the Napa Valley has been famous for producing for over 4 decades. This wine exhibits the aromas and flavors of raspberries, cassis, cedar, chocolate, and toasty French oak. Not meant for long term aging but rather early consumption, the wine is well balanced with soft tannins and a long lingering finish. This wine will pair well with all red meat dishes.
