Il Palagio is a wine estate located near the medieval town of Figline Valdarno that is known as the 'Florence farm'. This Sting wine is a real winner. The wine, a typical Tuscan wine with lots of fruit, elegance and finesse. It is a blend of 95% sangiovese and for the remaining 5% cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot which has been raised for 12 months in used wooden barrels and then has 6 months rest / bottle maturation in the bottle.
The Casino del Vie is a delicious and unique full-red wine with an intense color. It is really a typical Tuscan wine with lots of fruit, elegance and finesse. The wine has a lot of length and nice tannins
This is a wine that is great to drink on its own, but to truly do justice to the wine you have to make a nice pasta or a nice piece of meat with it, highly recommended! Casino delle Vie is named after a house on the estate.
The wine is certified organic. 92/100 James Suckling
