Il Bruciato pours a deep ruby red with violet reflections, revealing its youthful vibrancy and intensity. On the nose, the wine opens with expressive aromas of wild blackberries, ripe cherries, and cassis, layered with notes of sweet spices, cedar, and a touch of tobacco leaf. A subtle undercurrent of graphite and dark chocolate adds depth and sophistication. 

If you love Bordeaux, you’ll feel right at home with Il Bruciato. This Super Tuscan offers the structure, elegance, and dark fruit character typical of Left Bank Bordeaux, but with a sun-kissed Tuscan twist.

Marchesi Antinori is one of Italy’s most prestigious and historic wine families, with a winemaking legacy dating back to 1385. Based in Tuscany, the Antinori family has been instrumental in shaping modern Italian wine, particularly through their pioneering role in the Super Tuscan movement.

Led today by Marchese Piero Antinori and his daughters, the estate combines centuries of tradition with innovative winemaking. Their portfolio includes iconic wines such as Tignanello, Solaia, and Guado al Tasso, showcasing a mastery of both native and international grape varieties.

With estates across Tuscany, Umbria, and beyond—including ventures in the U.S., Chile, and Hungary. Antinori remains a benchmark for quality, elegance, and forward-thinking Italian winemaking.

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s great red wine varieties, prized for its structure, longevity and unmistakable sense of authority. Naturally high in tannin and acidity, it produces wines with depth and backbone, often built around dark fruit flavours such as blackcurrant, blackberry and plum, alongside classic notes of cedar, tobacco and graphite. These qualities make Cabernet particularly well suited to ageing, where time in bottle softens its frame and allows greater complexity to emerge. While famously associated with Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon expresses itself differently across regions and climates. In warmer areas it shows generosity and ripeness, with plush fruit and a warming richness; in cooler climates, it leans towards restraint, freshness and aromatic lift. What unites all great examples is their ability to reward patience — whether through decanting to allow the wine to open fully, or through years in the cellar. Cabernet is a wine for slower enjoyment, unfolding gradually and offering more with every glass.

Merlot

Syrah

Syrah (also known as Shiraz in Australia and some other regions) is a bold, dark-skinned grape variety renowned for producing deeply coloured, full-bodied red wines with intense flavour and aging potential. Believed to have originated in the Northern Rhône, Syrah thrives in a range of climates—from the granite slopes of Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie to the sun-drenched vineyards of Barossa Valley and Stellenbosch. In cooler regions, it yields structured wines with aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, violet, black pepper, and smoked meat; while warmer climates bring out riper notes of plum, dark chocolate, spice, and liquorice. Tannic and rich, yet capable of great elegance, Syrah responds beautifully to oak aging and can develop savoury, earthy complexity over time. Whether crafted as a single varietal or blended (notably with Grenache and Mourvèdre), Syrah is a powerhouse grape that combines depth, intensity, and character.

Bolgheri

One of Italy's most prestigious wine regions located on the Tuscan coast in the province of Livorno, within the larger Maremma area. Though relatively young in official wine terms, Bolgheri has become one of Italy’s most acclaimed appellations, known especially for its Bordeaux-style blends—Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc—crafted with Italian flair.
