"Levitas"
Sangiovese Maremma Toscana DOC

Notes of stewed cherries, violets, and rose with some earthy character of forest floor and smoke. The palate is full, with a bright and persistent character of cherry, orange zest, wild herbs and cedar, followed by refreshing acidity and fine tannins.
POINTS OF INTEREST

"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.
