Since its debut in 1988, Il Blu has been the result of constant striving for perfection. With ultra-fine tannins and a smooth and full finish, this full-bodied wine captivates with its complexity and elegance. Il Blu is made from only the best hand-picked and selected grapes from the two vineyards in the Chianti region. Rich, unfathomable ruby red. Explosive aromas of black cherries and blackberries on the nose. The texture is wonderfully balanced, on the palate Il Blu presents itself fresh, persistently powerful and with wonderfully articulated tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"The modern blend consists of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged 2/3 in new wood and smells of redcurrant, violets and shows a nice black cherry note. Powerful and intense in the mouth, with firm creamy tannins and sweet currants on the final." Weinwisser

"Dark, bright ruby red with delicate violet tones. In the nose initially rich wood spice, then slightly sweetish hints of ripe forest berries and ripe Amarena cherries, a little incense, reverberating with grated red currants. On the palate with a present fruit core and radiant course, shows itself immediately present, slightly balsamic hints, substantial, currently still very young, will develop very well." Falstaff

"A tightly wound style with aromas of black cherries and blackberries wrapped in dusty tannins. Elements of earth, tar and eucalyptus emerge on the lingering finish. Fresh and balanced." Wine Spectator

"On the nose, this wine is met with blackberries, violets, gravel and tar, while vanilla creeps in later. The palate is a chocolaty, berry mix with peppery and spicy warmth that then transitions elegantly into vanilla and baking spices. It's dense but not cloying, with supple tannins and bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"The 2019 Il Blu is beautiful. Dark and mysterious in the glass, the 2019 will need at least a few years to develop its full personality. Blue and purple fruits, lavender, sage, mint, liquorice and new leather meld together. This deep, fleshy Merlot-based blend hits all the right notes." Vinous

"A superb blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, an organic red wine blend from the wooded hills of Tuscany. The 2019 Il Blu is recognisable by its modern blue label and contemporary wine style. It offers seamless richness, elegant intensity and dark fruit richness. Italians might describe it with the word "ruffiano". The translation is somewhere between "pleaser" and "panderer", but with a positive twist." Wine Advocate

"It has lovely aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, peppercorns, cloves, mocha, hazelnuts and dried herbs. Polished and creamy, with a medium to full body and firm, velvety tannins. Long, supple and elegant. Delicious already, but even better from 2024." James Suckling
