Bere, which means “to drink” in Italian, has long been our favorite little Super Tuscan blend and begs just that, to be drunk and enjoyed easily thanks to its rich, crushed berry fruit, earthy backbone and smooth, fresh finish.
An inviting blend of 34% Sangiovese, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 33% Merlot, Bere is aged in used French-oak barrels. It is made from the vineyards of Tenuta Ladronaia, a property located in the craggy hills of the Upper Maremma, a wild and rustic land known for cowboys and outlaws. In fact, “Ladronaia” comes from the Italian word for “thief,” and still today, the villa of the property still hides the cavern and tunnel used for centuries by pirates as a hideout and place to stash their loot. Since the 1900s, the Tenuta has been used as a winery and farm.
