Antonio Sanguineti Toscana Nessun Dorma 750 ML

A blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah, this highlights aromas of underbrush, toasted notes and dark berry. The firm palate offers dried cherry, blackberry and a hint of truffle alongside chewy tannins. n n Producer Information n Having worked both as a winemaker and a consultant to dozens of producers over the course of his career, Antonio Sanguineti knows more about wine – and specifically Tuscan wine—than just about anyone else we know. His long list of mentors and partners reads like a virtual who’s who in Italian enology. Among them are giants Carlo Ferrini, Stefano Chioccioli, and Franco Bernabei. None had a greater influence on him, however, than the legendary Giulio Gambelli. “He was Tuscany,” says Antonio, and it’s true. Having completed a remarkable 61 vintages and advised the legendary Biondi Santi estate (including their immortal 1955 vintage of Brunello) Dr. Gambelli was arguably the most influential winemaker of his era. Antonio, therefore, was extremely fortunate to grow up in Dr. Gambelli’s presence. During the 1970s and 1980s, the enologist was a fixture on the Sanguineti family’s estate, visiting every week to help perfect their Chianti Classico. Antonio, who started his formal training with Gambelli at age 16, recalls with pride, “we were winning every type of prize and score back then.”
