Luiano’s “Grand Cru” is a blend of native and international grape varieties cultivated from a single vineyard produced in minimum quantities in only the best vintages. Defined by intense aromas of red berries and plums are accented by chocolate and tobacco notes. A full-bodied, complex Super Tuscan with rich fruit flavors and bold tannins, from 24 months of aging in French and American oak barrels following vinification in stainless steel.

Fresh and incisive, with black currant, black cherry, cedar and bell pepper flavors picking up a touch of oak spice. The backbone of tannins is dense and refined, while bright acidity drives the long aftertaste.

Silky and opulent, this Tuscan red shows rich black fruits of stewed plums, blackberry coulis, but underneath, there is fresh earth, fresh-cut wood, and vanilla bean. The tannin structure is massive calling for red meat or time in cellar.

Fine purity and expression are the hallmarks of this black currant—, black cherry— and violet-flavored red. The texture and balance make this compelling, with a long aftertaste. Iron and spice notes add depth. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Colorino. Best from 2023 through 2038. 700 cases made.
