Philip Toscana

TASTING NOTES

A deep purple colour on the appearance. Enticing aromas of black cherry, balsamic herbs, coffe and light vanilla notes. Full-bodied, ripe and complex, with polished tannins and a fresh aftertaste.

This  delicious wine masterpiece is dedicated to Philip Mazzei (1730-1816), an illustrious ancestor of the family, political thinker, American Patriot and pioneer, together with Thomas Jefferson, of the viticulture in Virginia.
