Luca Maroni (the Italian Robert Parker) has raved about Erastos Rosso Toscana, 2016 as one of Italy's finest wines of 2017/18. As it makes its U.S. debut (exclusively through BHW) this is one winning vintage that every wine lover will want for their collection. Deep, ruby red, this unusual Sangiovese and Merlot blend is exquisitely balanced to create a full-bodied beauty that delivers a medley of bright red cherries and dark plum fruit on the palate. It's full of verve and sophistication, like a Super Tuscan, and has a satin-smooth finish that befits a wine ten times the price. Trust us, your friends will never believe it's not ridiculously expensive.

About the wine

The perfect party red, Erastos Rosso Toscana, with its jammy fruits, sweet chocolate and vanilla notes, and a smattering of spice, is a real crowd-pleaser. Aged for six months in oak barrels, this vintage has plenty of smooth tannins and a long, silky finish. Since regional wines love regional dishes, go ahead and serve this beauty with fresh cheese, grilled chicken and pizza.
