“Aromas of fresh blackberries, spiced cherries, rosemary, sage and porcini mushrooms. Medium-bodied with medium tannins. Fresh and lightly chewy with a spicy finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.”

“Here’s a fun wine from Podere la Pace. With only 2,600 bottles produced, the organic 2018 Maremma Toscana Cabernet Franc offers a big dose of freshly milled black pepper that frames blackberry and dark cherry confit. True to the variety, the wine is inky black in appearance and generous in terms of depth, texture and length. There are hints of black olive and scorched earth at the back.”
