Luiano’s “Grand Cru” is a blend of native and international grape varieties cultivated from a single vineyard produced in minimum quantities in only the best vintages. Defined by intense aromas of red berries and plums are accented by chocolate and tobacco notes. A full-bodied, complex Super Tuscan with rich fruit flavors and bold tannins, from 24 months of aging in French and American oak barrels following vinification in stainless steel.
The name Ottantuno, or 81, has much significance to the family, most importantly because it was the year the modern-day winery was founded. This limited production wine produced from 100% estate-grown fruit possesses remarkable aromatic notes of fruit and spices, such as cherry, strawberry, nutmeg, clove, curry, and white pepper, with hints of chamomile and vanilla rounding out the bouquet. It is full and round on the palate with balanced elegance. Pair this age-worthy wine with game and steaks.
Sangiovese dominates this classic Tuscan blend rendering a bold wine that boasts aromas of ripe red berries and subtle nuances of spice. Smaller percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot add finesse with soft notes of violets and tea leaves. Round, velvety tannins mark the finish. Following vinification in stainless steel, this Chianti Classico is aged in French and American oak barrels for 8 months.
