Le Anfore Ansonaco 2022

This wine is striking to look at. The color is a strident yellow, almost the shade of an amber ale. The nose brings a huge note of dried apricots, almost a sugary sense. There is also a nuttiness to the sniff. On the palate, a mix of apricot and Meyer lemon present one of the more unusual flavor profiles I’ve had recently in a wine. Salinity is high, acidity is fresh, but not sharp. It is quite an exceptional wine, if maybe just not for everyone. At the very least, it’s an opportunity to mark the Ansonica grape on your Century Club list. — 7 days ago

Le Anfore Syrah 2013

Anfore favolose, da far invidia agli chateneuf di Pape. Grandi spezie, pepe nero, more, mirtilli ma non marmellatosi, freschi e piacevoli, elegantissimo, fine con un buon corpo, lungo e piacevole al palato. Ottima espressione della maremma da Suvereto, piccola produzione di 1000 bottiglie, azienda Casadei — 10 years ago

Very drinkable. A nice medium body, smooth, not overly fruity or sweet. — 3 years ago

Cannonau Amphora BioIntegrale

Impressive freshness considering the varietal and provenance, with a good energy, concentrated and lively primary fruit, backed by a floral move, followed by herbs and a stony, background. Good structure and energy throughout a balanced palate, defined and fine knitted tannins, ripe but fresh fruit with a savoury texture, marks its territory well, but falls a bit short on the finish. 8.9 — 6 years ago

Sogno Mediterraneo Toscana Syrah Blend 2018

Nice, took 20 mins to open, smooth mouth and finish, not over the top on unfermented sugars. Not really a dry wine though. Enjoying without food. — 4 years ago

9.3

A beautifully textured wine where varietally correct fruit corresponds nicely to its Tuscan upbringing. Clever oak treatment lets the naked fruit shine thru. Drinks well already but carries the backbone to age too. — 8 years ago
