Collezione Privata Selezione Vendemia Numero 3 2018

Our Italy expert, Leonardo Bassano, has connections all over ‘the boot.’ So, when a top estate in Tuscany needed to make a little room in their cellar, Leo was their first call.

Up for grabs: this stunning Sangiovese-Colorino blend from the 2018 vintage, “… an excellent year for balanced and structured reds with beautifully fresh and fruity center palates as well as a linear line of tannins and acidity,” writes Italian wine expert, James Suckling.

Sangiovese, Tuscany’s star grape, brings its trademark, red-fruited vibrance, while rare Colorino gives the wine its stunningly deep, ruby hue. In the glass, this bursts with zingy red cherry and strawberry flavors. Best enjoyed with a hearty meal – we suggest a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs.
