Castello Di San Polo In Rosso

Umani Ronchi

Campo San Giorgio Rosso Conero Riserva Montepulciano 2013

Revelatory Montepulciano with Italian essence but Bordeaux character. Medium bodied with earthy fruit and restrained tannins, combined with notes of leather and cedar box and a hint of soy sauce. Mouthwatering food wine; the 2013 vintage is definitely ready to enjoy now. First glass was at Mother Wolf in LA (date night with Dreama) and most recently a bottle at home with my own beef stroganoff on a Sunday night. What a way to top off the weekend! — 2 months ago

Castello di Ama

San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sangiovese Blend 2017

Too young but still very nice with a 5h decant - suggest checking back in another 3-5 years. Tannins are very present, but the fruit and earth are very nice. Good acid too, especially for a hot vintage. — 2 years ago

San Venz Lessona Vino Rosso Nebbiolo 2012

9.1

Man the Appasiemento is really showing in this wine. Yowza. Tar, roses, raisins. Smells almost like Lessona Sforzato. Really weird. Some nice older library books, old wood and sultana. What a crazy nose. I like it. Palate is much more classic than the nose suggests. Big, ripe but also classy and elegant with dark cherry fruit and wood shop shavings. Luscious and juicy but my only issue is it’s drying and the tannins outpace the fruit. Drink now versus aging it longer. — 3 years ago

Vigneto San Lorenzo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

See previous Note. Old plummie, red cherry notes. Barb said dusty and pine needles. A cooler vintage. I said red cherries and freshly tilled loam. As Galloni said “In 2010 Ama did not bottle their single vineyard selections. All the best fruit went here.” Tasting more the quality of a Brunello than a Chianti Classico. No. 6 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2015. — 7 months ago

In 2015, the WS Top 100 meant something. To look at it the last few years it is puzzling. I recently read their website for the criteria they use to come up with their top 100 and all I could do after reading the criteria and seeing their 2024 selections is scratch my head.

This has a polished surface feel that is modern, even though it is also quite authentic and traditional in its aromatic profile. — 2 years ago

Mastrojanni (Poderi Loreto e San Pio)

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Medium garnet with a clear edge. A strong nose of black cherry and maybe some leather. Medium plus body in the mouth with flavors of black cherry backed by red plum. Fairly smooth, slightly dry, low to medium tannins, very even acidity. Nice- — 3 years ago
