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.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
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.
