A very unique wine that was recommended while eating a great dinner in Florence. It is technically a rosato, but not like anyone I have ever tasted. Had the color of almost a pinot noir and some similarity, but it was a rosé with a dark color and served chilled. It was exceptional with our openers including Tuscan ham. I hope we can find it in the U.S. A beautiful wine that could even get better.

Well done Chianti Classico. There are so many when in Tuscany that are good to very good, it is hard to go wrong. Great with a Florentine steak in Florence.

The was an exceptional recommendation when we had dinner in Florence. A syrah based rosé was the description but it was far more than that and almost a pinot, but different. Incredibly drinkable and a unique, full flavor profile. We drank it chilled with our first and second plates and it was perfect. Back in the U.S. now and want to find it for the future.
