Rcital delivers the ethereal color, lip smacking salinity, and bright fruits one expects from the appellation, but with a sumptuousness of texture and a swelling, clinging finish that is all

fresh cream and dried cranberry

Léoville Barton

this wine impresses from start to finish

with light glints of white gold

allowing the identity of the estate’s terroir and Vincenzo’s vision of ideal Sangiovese fruit to shine through

these wines rank with the very best of Provence

Intense nose bringing notes of small fruits
