Yet another Italian producer of natural wine knocking it out of the park. A polite kind of funk, smoke, resinous, dried apricots, loaminess, with a floral tinged finish that lingers pleasantly — 8 years ago

A truly elegant Brunello from one of the finest plots of the region Castelnuovo dell’Abate, this 100% Sangiovese was aged for 3.5 y in large casks (much more than the minimum 2 y requirement). It has a deep Ruby color, an enchanting elegant and sexy nose, screaming fines, with black current, mocaccino, cherries and mild note of dry leaves, medium to full body, smooth and caressing the palette , with lovely refined acidity and magically smooth tannins, long delicious finish, my score 91, drink to 2027 — 10 years ago
ジャミーな香りとスモーキーな樽香を感じる。飲んでみると凝縮感のあるピチピチとした溌剌とした果実味を感じるが、どこか透明感がある。
アツ化粧なギャルかと思いきや、案外純情系女子みたいな。 — 10 years ago
Great brunello with age. Med- full. Cherries. Long. Will wait another 1-3 years for final bottle. — 10 years ago
Drank at All'Onda. A great chianti Classico riserva, declassified in this vintage (anyone know why?). Rustic, and quite different than other (le trame le boncie, Felsina) wines I've had from castelnuovo beradegna. This is very tasty, probably has a good couple more years, but perfectly delicious now. — 11 years ago

Tasted January 2013
A “young Brunello” produced from vineyards at 200 to 450 m asl with poor marl soil close to Castelnuovo dell’Abate. Fermentation by indigenous yeasts, long maceration, ageing 24 months in oak and 6 months in bottle.
100% Sangiovese.
Brilliant ruby red.
Intense and clean aromas. Excellent correspondence of taste to nose, outstanding freshness but also elegance and persistence.
Goes well with roasted game and aged cheese. — 9 years ago
Aromatic, but a little too much oak and alcohol coming through. Fresh and racy, coming out of Castelnuovo del Abate, one of the hotter subzones of Montalcino climate wise. All the way down at the bottom of southern Montalcino. South facing slopes and lots of sun. Maybe too much. — 9 years ago
Great sweet red wine! Full body, full flavor, suggests chilled but I have enjoyed it unchilled also. — 9 years ago
Red roses on the nose. Strawberries. A fun Italian rosé. Great end to an amazing trip! Thank you Iceland — 10 years ago
Spanish night with a cheeky Italian red thrown in for good measure #9outof10 — 10 years ago
Stuffing was there with great tannin and acid but came across as too hot at 14.5. Alcohol very present for me — 10 years ago

ガルガネガ。びっくりするくらいミネラル。スッキリ! — 11 years ago
A subtle old world merlot that has soft berry fruits & little tannin. Hints of pepper on the aftertaste.
Would compliment a roast pork or chicken dish very well. — 7 years ago
More upscale Lambrusco than Reunite — 7 years ago
Crisp, sparkling, sweet red wine. Very tasty and easy to enjoy! — 9 years ago
Castelnuovo dell'abate area of Montalcino, new style softness, alcohol has to be high 14's or above. Would have enjoyed this more at a younger age with more fruit in the balance buffering alcohol. Still nice meaty, iron style. — 10 years ago
Giovanna Morganti: Podere Le Boncie. She's a fine and set apart winemaker in San Felice/Castelnuovo Berardenga. Her house is the cellar, her mystic garden the vineyard where she does home-grown her own sangiovese grapes and few others local vine variety (mammolo foglia-tonda colorino canaiolo) allowed in the Chianti Classico Appellation, with such a filial piety and discipline as they were kids in a kindergarden. "Le Trame" is the name of her A rated eldest child, a magnificent utterance of Tuscany through the wine. Here's instead, her declassified sangiovese under the IGT umbrella (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) called simply, 5 - with a touch of self-irony - which in terms of grades at the School would be C or D. I do adore this "slacker" and strapping "5" for the harshness sour inborn at the wine, a spontaneous expression of a very acidic and stoney soil too! — 10 years ago
It was very good. Sweet and no strong alcohol flavor. — 10 years ago
