Cancelli Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

9.1

Natural montepulciano. Comes in a clear bottle πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ. Fully enjoyable, especially with rustic Italian fare. Quite farty on the nose. Tad spritzy. Slightly under ripe cherry on the palate with a minty kick. Tobacco and herbs. This has really nice verve and presence and I love the texture - lactic, almost creamy. Finishes with grainy tannins. Very alive. Tastes like a barrel sample. Drained quickly. β€” 5 years ago

Valdisanti Tenuta S. Giovanni Toscana Red Blend 2014

2014 vintage, imbibed Aug/2019. Needed decanting ... very closed at first, practically no nose at all. Began to open up after a half hour to 45 minutes. Eventually - good fruit, big body, but tannins well controlled. I had my doubts at first, but ended up really enjoying with a hearty beef dinner. β€” 6 years ago

Vini Biondi

Cisterna Fuori Contrada Ronzini Etna Rosso Red Blend

Good nerello with minimal oak. Needs lots of time to show itself, oddly, then iron and the volcanic minerals show. Definitely lighter than most which I appreciate. β€” 9 years ago

Black Label Carema Nebbiolo 2013

Having purchased several bottles, I wanted to give this a test run. Let it decant for two hours and indeed, she rewarded me. A huge nose of dried red flowers, violets, cranberry, cherry, a hint of earth and tar. Drinking fairly well now but she needs to lay for a few years to fully reward you. Carema is a wonderful region for Nebbiolo! β€” 8 years ago

Domodimonti

Bran Caia Ilatraia Maremma Toscana Red Blend 2013

A good wine. But a bit of a let down, if I’m being honest. 60% cab and I expected more fruit, structure and body. It veered too much into the Sangiovese territory. Not complaining but not celebrating either. β€” 7 years ago

Poggio Verrano

DrΓ²mos Maremma Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2007

Decanted and was surprisingly fruit forward with relatively subdued tannins. Notes of plum, licorice, and black cherry. I enjoyed with a plate of sausage and peppers with penne, but could certainly be drunk on its own. Very nice! β€” 8 years ago

Vini Biondi

Outis (Nessuno) Etna DOC Rosso Nerello Blend 2015

Probably because I drink too much Etna and am a little spoiled, but this 2015 from the south east Slopes needs a couple of more years to get some tertiary volcanic flavors. Great floral notes and light cherry, but not a lot of persistent. β€” 8 years ago

Avignonesi

Desiderio Toscana Merlot 2012

One of the best Tuscan merlots I can think I've had. Extremely inviting creme de cassis, ripe blackberries, cedar closet, menthol on nose. Dark fruit, baking spices, extracted black tea on palette. Developed nicely over course of a few hours. Finish is somewhat rustic and unlike the aroma or taste but give sense of place and I think will soften over time. β€” 9 years ago
