99 / 100"The bouquet reveals rich notes of spice, chocolate, ripe plums and blackberries. Flavours of licorice and ripe fruit dance on the palate while supple tannins contribute to a velvety texture. This is a harmonious and well-structured wine with rich complexity and a long, lingering finish."

Tasting Notes
"Collezione Privata Toscana IGT" displays opulent style reminiscent of the grandeur of the Tuscan Renaissance. This period, characterized by the richness and prosperity of Florence, captured the world's attention. The inspiration behind crafting this wine draws from the culinary delights of that era, particularly Caterina de' Medici's renowned stracotto dish. This delectable creation left an indelible mark on culinary culture in royal courts across Europe. The original recipe prescribed a slow-cooking method for the beef in Tuscan red wine for over three hours. It also involved enhancing the cooking sauce with unique ingredients, including chili pepper, pine nuts, almonds, and dried raisins.
Pays homage to this ancient tradition by harmoniously blending Tuscan heritage with the great international cuisine. The extended cooking durations, the interplay of sweet and savory flavors, and the indulgence of fatty and succulent dishes beautifully complement the opulent character of our wine. It serves as an impeccable accompaniment to delicious holiday courses, such as duck stuffed with apples and plums, roast pork with crispy bacon and caramelized potatoes, roast goose filled with chestnuts, apples, and onions, and pork seasoned with herbs, accompanied by bread and cranberry sauce.
It showcases a deep red hue, reminiscent of luxurious brocade. The bouquet reveals its rich and opulent essence, adorned with hints of spices, chocolate, ripe plums, and blackberries. The sip is marked by subtle sweetness, accompanying towards a prosperous and full-bodied experience. Flavors of licorice, resin, and ripe fruits dance on the palate, pleasing the senses. The supple tannins contribute to a velvety texture, weaving a lingering and profound finish.
