The 2012 Ad Astra is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The wine opens to a dark color and deep intensity. This is a brooding and masculine expression with aromas of dark cherry, spice, leather, barbecue smoke and cured tobacco. The oak presence is evident in the mouth, especially thanks to the wine's deep softness and richness. Ad Astra is a youthful yet not unsophisticated red blend from Tuscany.
