Sangiovese is king grape of Tuscany, but in this superb 92-point red Cabernet Franc is the hero. "A gorgeous effort from La Regola" said Wine Advocate. Now with 15 years age, the wine is showing complex tobacco spice and silky, mature red fruit.

What started as a small plot, La Regola, in the village of Riparbella, to provide olive oil and wine for the family has blossomed exponentially. Today, the second generation Luca and Flavio continue the work of their father, Rolando. Luca is the winemaker, who started planting more vineyards and upgrading the cellar in the 1990s and introduced French barriques. Since then, the reputation of this excellent estate has soared. Antoni Galloni in Wine Advocate described it as a "gorgeous, expansive wine [that] needs time to blossom." Now at its peak of maturity, this is a silky, well aged red, with dried red fruits and tobacco spice complexity. Cabernet Franc, with Merlot and Petit Verdot, it's a red to pore over with game or a rich pasta dish.
