Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored red from Tuscany opens with a red currant bouquet with hints of black cherry and oak. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, well balanced, and smooth. The flavor profile is a gentle oak infused black cherry with hints of black pepper. The finish is dry and its dusty tannins are nicely prolonged. I would pair this good value with beef bourguignonne. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Lagone has a warm deep red colour close to purple. Delicate aromas of Mediterranean wood and vanilla emphasize the structured and elegant taste with intense notes of wild berries, ripe juicy sour cherries and hints of sweet spices that leave the palate satisfied and pleasantly sweet and dry.
