The Ferragamo family has owned this property, located outside Arezzo, since 1993. Winemaking is overseen by consulting oenologist Niccolo d-Afflitto. The 2004 Pian di Nova is a lovely effort. A blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Syrah, it offers perfumed sweet fruit and mentholated notes on a sinewy frame with excellent length and fine tannins on the fresh finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2012.
