This joint effort between three of the area's best wineries—Caiarossa, Duemani and Tenuta Prima Pietra—is a tribute to the coastal Tuscan town of Riparbella. Caiarossa contributed the Cabernet Sauvignon, Duemani the Cabernet Franc and Prima Pietra the Merlot. There is an intense and inky color to the 2017 Tresoro that is loaded with saturation. Don't expect a whole lot on the nose initially, but you will find plenty of fleshiness and succulence in the mouth and a very nice, ripe taste overall, tempered by plenty of spicy French oak. Celebrate this wine and the province of Pisa with a typical cinghiale alla cacciatora: wild boar with red wine, greens, onions, carrots, celery and rosemary.

Gorgeous aromas of crushed stone, blueberries, light chocolate and hints of coffee beans. Full body. Round and very polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Shows wonderful length. This is a new wine that is a blend of wine from Caiarossa (cabernet sauvignon), Duemani (cabernet franc) and Prima Pietra (merlot). Drink or hold. Only 3,000 bottles.

Bright garnet red. Exciting nose of ripe cranberries, dried rose petal, cassis, wild berries and a hint of truffle in the background, complex and spicy. On the palate there's a juicy core, it's polished and precise, spreads elegantly over the tongue, shows powerful tannin with a little dryness needing time to settle, fine spice on the finish.
