Il Palagio is a wine estate located near the medieval town of Figline Valdarno that is known as the 'Florence farm'. The owner of this beautiful wine domain is none other than Sting. The Sister Moon is the top model from Sting and a real Super Tuscan. It is a blend of 45% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard with a substrate consisting of sand and clay, rich in magnesium and lime. The Sister Moon has had a 18-month boost on new oak. It is a delicious full bodied wine. In the glass, the wine has a beautiful red intense color with beautiful tears on the glass. In the nose, the Sister Moon has beautiful tones with black and blueberry, roasted nuts, incense and cedar. In the mouth the wine is velvety, ripe, rich and meaty with firm but refined tannins. Impressions of cocoa, plum, blackberries, cassis and vanilla. The aftertaste is beautiful
The wine has received 94/100 points from James Suckling
Fact: The wine was named after the 1987 hit of sting from the album Nothing Like the Sun.
