This is the flagship wine from ll Palagio, a Tuscan estate owned by Sting, yes that Sting, and his wife Trudie Styler. It is a Super Tuscan blend with 45 percent Sangiovese, 45 percent Merlot and 10 percent Cabernet Sauvignon that was aged in barriques for 24 months. Flavors of black fruits are intertwined with floral notes and woody spices in this full bodied, statuesque wine that is well-structured with a fine balance of delectable fruit, lively acidity and burnished tannins. It is youthful and promises better things to come. Certified organic by Bioagricert.
