Alicante is making huge inroads in Tuscany. In the warm climate of central Italy this shows bright berry aromas, with touches of spice, leather, cola and menthol. The palate is bright, fresh and cleansing.

Alicante is a variant of Grenache (used widely in France, Spain and California) that finds its home only in tiny pockets of Italy, including Maremma, Tuscany. This wine shows enormous spice with tones of scented candle and incense with blackberry and cherry.
