Medium intensity of a vibrant, darkly-pigmented, ruby-red color. High-toned sour-cherry aromas overlay volatile truffle, mushroom, pepper & cedar aromas. The palate combines mouth-watering acidity, with fine drying tannins. Juicy fruit on the back-palate has spicy/peppery touches & truffley earthiness. The wine is mid-weight with concentrated fruit. Alcohol is slightly warming & the finish long with spicy redcurrant fruit.
Here is a wine that is really coming into its own. The 2015 Tenuta Belguardo is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc (aged in oak for 18 months) that has now earned Maremma Toscana DOC status. This is a rich and beautifully integrated blend that offers balanced power and a fully rich or concentrated style. Dark fruit, spice, and leather peel back in thick, delicious layers.

Antinori is the most famous name in Italian wine and the influence of Piero Antinori in the last 25 years has been nothing short of revolutionary. Antinori's flagship wine, Tignanello, first appeared in 1971 and caused a sensation by its use of Cabernet Sauvignon in a Sangiovese blend and with its practice of ageing in small French barriques. Antinori was accused of vinous treachery and treason but soon barrique-aged blends of Sangiovese and Cabernet began appearing all across Tuscany.

Italy's most ancient wine region, Tuscany may not be a heavyweight in terms of quantity, but as the home of two of the country's most famous fine wines – Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino – it certainly holds its own in terms of quality. Tuscany's climate ranges from Mediterranean on the coast to continental deep in the Apennines. More than two thirds of the province is covered with hills, an important terroir factor in its fine wines.
