“Auspicium”
Montecucco Rosso DOC

60% Sangiovese 40% Syrah

The bouquet unfolds with time to reveal dark and red fruits, cinnamon spice, violets and orange peel. Spice, stewed cherries, and cassis dominate the palate, giving way to more complex balsamic, cigar box, and grilled herbs in the finish. A bright acidity with subdued alcohol and velvety tannins, complete the structure.

Points of Interest

This is the wine that combines Alison’s homeland, Australia, and her home of 30+ years, Italy. The Syrah and Sangiovese complement each other well and what is created has a true sense of personality and focus.

“Galfridus”
Maremma Toscana DOC

100% Syrah

Aromas are complex with notes of ripe dark cherries, mulberries, roses and violets. Dark chocolate and black fruit contrast with bright acidity to create a complex and energetic palate. A hint of vanilla spice and balsamic is well integrated with subdued tannins and a savory persistent finish.

Points of Interest

The flagship wine by Alison comes from a few rows of vines in the ideal soil for complex wine with structure and presence. Each vine is carefully picked by hand so this small production is sure to come from the best fruit produced each year by the vineyard.
