A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Syrah, the Collazzi 2017 Libertà is a well-priced Tuscan red that flaunts a fun and cheerful attitude, all driven by dark fruit, cherry and blackberry. There is some spice and smoke at the back, and this gives the wine enough fiber and texture to pair with a classic roast chicken and potatoes. Production is an ample 60,000 bottles. Libertà means freedom in Italian, and this wine gives you the liberty of a wide range of food pairings.

The 2016 Libertà is a blend of mostly Merlot with smaller parts Syrah and Sangiovese. I like the honesty and straightforward appeal of this Tuscan red. It delivers plump ripe fruit and soft fiber, followed by a refreshing vein of acidity at the back.
