Tenuta Il Palagio | Sting

Bright salmon pink and fresh bouquet with notes of pineapple and peach, juicy, persistent. This extremely elegant and delicate Rosato from Sangiovese is named after the good soul of the house, who worked on the estate for 59 years and can hardly be honoured better than with this wonderful wine. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fresh and fruity rosé with sliced pear and apple character. Some stone and cantaloupe. Medium body. Clean finish." James Suckling

A juicy Chianti "for every day" and like from the songbook of a brilliant cellar master. Light cherry red; inspires with intense aromas of cherry and black berries, then very harmonious in the finish, makes you want to dance and the next glass! SUPERIORE.DE

"A go-to Chianti with lovely bright fruit and lemon-rind undertones. Medium body and a flavorful finish. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

Light yellow with greenish reflections. Begins delicate, floral and fresh, with aromas of citrus fruits, some pineapple and banana, then subtle acidity, a great lightness and much character. SUPERIORE.DE

Dark ruby red, delicious aromas of cherries, black currants and spices. A very pleasant and typical Tuscan ambassador with good structure and high enjoyment factor! SUPERIORE.DE

Second wine would be a clear understatement for this great wine. Dark ruby, in the nose some smoke, butter and herbs. A full-bodied and relatively dense red, which does not hide its origin any more than the status of a small Supertuscan. Soft mouthfeel, at the end a mineral spice; its structure provides with a beautiful acidity with well integrated tannins for a long and lively finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2016 Casino Delle Vie is mostly Sangiovese blended with Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a mid-weight wine that would pair seamlessly with grilled pork chops or spicy marinated vegetables on the grill. The wine offers brief moments of sweetness, followed by longer interludes of savory spice. The wine is lean in terms of mouthfeel, with lots of black fruit and tangy spice to keep your interest." Robert Parker

"This is a big and rich young red with light plum-jam, vanilla and chocolate character. Full body and velvety tannins. From organically grown grapes." James Suckling

The first wine composition directed by Sting and logically named after one of his most famous songs. Dark ruby red, complex nose and intense cherry fruit on the palate with hints of spices, very harmonious and long. Well integrated wood does not make this red by any means heavy or one-dimensional, but rounds off the pleasure on the palate masterfully and long with beautifully integrated tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is the top-shelf wine from musician Sting's Tenuta Il Palagio. The 2015 Sister Moon is a mid-weight wine with rich and dark concentration. The wine represents a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot culled from vineyards scattered around the estate. The bouquet is rich and bold with aromas of Spanish cedar, camphor ash and spice, all surrounding a core of dark fruit. The wine is balanced and carefully large in scope. It makes a big impression in the mouth but ultimately delivers an elegant sign off." Robert Parker

"Blueberry and violet aromas and flavors highlight this sappy red. Compact and succulent, this extends on the finish, with notes of black currant, graphite and sweet spices." Wine Spectator

"Really enticing aromas of fresh flowers and dark fruit, as well as fresh herbs. Full body, chewy tannins and a rich finish. This is layered and provocative. From organically grown grapes. Give it two or three years of bottle age to come together." James Suckling
