TUSCANY, ITALY, 2017

N’ANTIA TOSCANA ROSSO IGT 2017 BY BADIA DI MORRONA

While many of the iconic wines are worth their weight in gold, N’Antia Toscana Rosso IGT 2017 is something completely different—a sophisticated, elegant, and value driven Super-Tuscan beauty! 30 years ago someone coined the term “Super-Tuscan” to describe a new generation of region defining red blends coming out of Tuscany, Italy. There’s no official designation of what Super-Tuscans are, (can you imagine they were called table wine for a decade!), but most have become incredible.

Everything about this wine, from the majestic property and the people behind it, to the quality and longevity of the wine itself, is epic.

Along the Tuscan coast, where legendary wines such as “Sassicaia” and “Ornellaia” were born, grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have established as strong a foothold as native varieties. For those who know and love Italian wine, Badia di Morrona needs no introduction. Everything about it, from the majestic property and the people behind it, to the quality and longevity of the wine itself, is epic.

Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, today’s Toscana Rosso was aged 15 months in French oak and another 10 months in bottle. A sleek and succulent red blend, boasting a tremendous amount of wine for the money—and a name to add to your must-try list! Drink now or cellar for the next 5 years.
