"Black as night, with aromas of blackberry, violet, flowers and Indian spices. Full-bodied, with loads of tannins, but ultra-refined. Very long and beautiful, with great texture. This is 1997 again. Best after 2010. 500 cases made."

| Comments: |
The grapes are first thinned twice then, during harvest, an average of three grapes out of five are chosen to make the Brunello wine according to the traditional method. After long maceration with the grape skin at the temperature of around 33ºC (91.4ºF), the wine ages for six months in small French oak barrels, then for 24 months in 17.5 hectoliters Slavonic oak barrels before bottling. Before release, the Brunello is further aged for over six months in the bottles.
The color is deep ruby red, the perfume is ethereal, with intense, complex bouquet. In the mouth it reveals strong body, good structure and balanced tannins. Pairs well with red meat, game, and aged cheese. Serve at 20°C (68°F) in wide glass. |

The grapes used to make the Morellino di Scansano "Fontetinta" are picked by hand and the juice undergoes alcoholic fermentation in iron vats. The maceration lasts 20 days with frequent daily remixing. The wine is then aged for six months in French barriques, where it undergoes the malolactic fermentation. The wine is released after an extra three months' rest in the bottles.
The color is bright ruby red, to the nose it reveals the strong scent of fruits, with notes of vanilla and spices. In the mouth it is balanced, with good tannic structure, but with sweet, harmonic notes to the palate. Ideal with red meat dishes, pasta and savory recipes. |

The unusual proximity of an oak and a willow tree nearby the Terre di Nano estate was reported in historic maps of the village of Monticchiello, in Val d'Orcia, as Quercialsale. The Leonardo da Vinci sketches for the painting known as Battaglia di Anghiari which are reproduced on the label, suggest the strength and dynamism of this barrique-aged wine made with 100% Sangiovese.
A product with great character, it has a soft and enveloping flavor, whose noble tannins are well integrated in the wine structure, which shows excellent balance and persistence and it is at its best paired with red meat-based recipes.
The bottle should be uncorked one hour before serving at 18°-20°C (64.4°-68°F). |

The top wine produced by the estate is made with carefully selected grapes of Sangiovese Grosso (the variety of Sangiovese used to produce the world renowned Brunello di Montalcino), blended with with a calibrated amount of Merlot, it takes its name from the maclura pomifera tree of North American origins, one splendid, majestic specimen of which embellishes the entrance to the Terre di Nano estate.
Aged in wooden barrels with periodic passage in barriques, this wine is further aged for one year in the bottles before release. Elegant and refined, with full, harmonious body, it shows persistent notes of red berries and vanilla. The Maclura is a wine that gets better with ageing. It is particularly indicated for pairing with important red meat dishes, grilled game, and savory roasted meat. It is excellent paired with medium- and long-aged cheeses, also when these show spicy notes.
The bottle should be uncorked at least one hour before serving at 18°-20°C (64.4°-68°F). |

Wine Spectator assigned 90 points to this wine with the following comment:
"Named for the blue (Azzurro) eyes of Danilo's (the estate owner) first daughter. The wine is an excellent Baby Brunello. It comes from the same grapes, with less aging. Produced with pure Sangiovese Grosso (also known as Prugnolo Gentile, or Brunello, in the town of Montalcino, in Tuscany).
Balanced and fruity, with red currant, cherry and a hint of vanilla. Medium- to full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long finish. Recommended"

It's also interesting paired with chocolate.

Long lasting, harmonious wine with great structure. The grapes are carefully selected at harvest time, then the skin is left with the fermenting must for about 25 days, thus extracting all the phenols which make for a precious wine.
The color is ruby red with subdued garnet highlights. Complex nose, with the scent of ripe fruits, black pepper, vanilla and a hint of chocolate in the background. In the mouth it is full, harmonious, with extremely elegant tannins. Meditation wine which pairs well with wild game. |
