Dolce Vita Xmas night 2025 — 10 days ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh ripe berry fruits, floral and slight spicy notes. Blend of 95% Sangiovese; 5% Canaiolo & Colorino, aged 24 months in oak. Fruit comes primarily from a small parcel of galestro-rich soils. On the palate cherry and black raspberry flavors, adding lovely floral notes, well balanced with acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long ending with slight earthy toasty minerality. Very Nice!! — 20 days ago

This bottled was purchased at the estate last year; double-decanted earlier in the day and enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1982 “Il Poggio” Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and dried Morello cherry, red rope licorice, my grandmother’s attic, old leather bound books and dry, iron rich earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ with ferrous minerals. What a lovely, mature Riserva and killer with mushroom risotto. I wouldn’t worry about this dropping off a cliff anytime soon but this is ready to drink now through 2037+ — 9 days ago

This ages so well. A balance of mature and fresh: cigars, tomato leaf, eggplant (first time I think I ever said that!), cassis.
Finely structured tannins, the acids have mellowed a little but still very present.
Who knows how long this one could go but it's a great time to drink it now! — 2 months ago

Pale straw coloration. On the nose, citrus, herbs, and minerals. On the palate, citrus and minerals. Nice, longer finish of same. Nicely balanced and a fuller Chardonnay mouthfeel. — 17 days ago

i always enjoy this. Rich yet elegant, this delivered on all notes. Soft berries on the nose, rich black fruit and mellow tannins give way the burnt sandal leather from the Tuscan sun. Yummy — 21 days ago

Chianti classico from Banfi and this reliable producer always delivers quality. It's typical: high acidity, but medium tannins, very dry. A cherry, leather and touch of vanilla. — 2 months ago
