95 /100

A terrific blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, this is an organic red blend from the forested hills of Tuscany. The 2019 Il Blu is recognized by its modern blue label (and fun orange capsule) and its contemporary winemaking style. It offers seamless richness, elegant intensity, and dark fruit weight. Italians might use the word "ruffiano" to describe it. The translation falls somewhere between "pleaser" and "panderer" but with a positive spin. Perhaps the most agreeable part of this barrique-aged wine is its availability, with an ample 42,000 bottles made. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

93 /100

Heavy reduction on the nose of this wine meets blackberries, violets, gravel, and tar, while vanilla sneaks out later. The palate is a chocolaty-berry blend with heat both peppery and spicy, then pivots elegantly to vanilla and baking spices. Dense but not cloying, it has pliant tannins and glittering acid.

Wine Enthusiast

95 /100

Dark, bright ruby red with subtle purple tones. On the nose, initially a rich wood savouriness, then slightly sweet hints of ripe forest fruits and ripe Amarena cherry, a bit of incense, and echoes of red currant. On the palate, a vivid fruit core and radiant progression. The wine shows immediately vivid, with slight balsamic hints; it is textured, currently still very young, and will develop very well.

About the grape

Cabernet - Merlot - Sangiovese

Cabernet – Merlot – Sangiovese er et karakteristisk og vigtigt blend i Toscana og fundamentet for mange af de berømte Super Tuscan‑vine. Kombinationen forener Cabernet Sauvignons struktur og kraft, Merlots runde og saftige frugt og Sangioveses syre, kirsebærpræg og tydelige italienske karakter. Dette giver vine, der både har international dybde og et stærkt toscansk udtryk.

Sangiovese er den drue, der giver blendet sin særlige identitet med sorte kirsebær, skovbund og en let rustik kant. Cabernet bidrager med tannin, mørke bær og et fastere skelet, mens Merlot blødgør vinen med sødmefuld frugt og en rund midtpalet. Resultatet er vine, der kan være både tilgængelige i deres ungdom eller udvikle betydelig kompleksitet med alder.

Blendets oprindelse ligger i Toscana, hvor producenter i 1970’erne og 1980’erne begyndte at kombinere Sangiovese med Cabernet og Merlot som et alternativ til de daværende rigide DOC‑regler. Det markerede starten på Super Tuscan‑bevægelsen, som siden har løftet Toscana til international vinberømmelse.
