Luminous medium-dark red. The captivating nose combines sour red cherry, violet, coconut, tobacco, minerals and a hint of white pepper. Densely packed and youthful but very fresh and lively; this already boasts a silky texture and considerable early appeal owing to its noteworthy sweetness of fruit. Subtle notes of red berries, herbs, graphite and flowers carry through into the rising, very long, vibrant finish. A knockout Brunello that further confirms winemaker Cecilia Leoneschi’s talent at making exceptionally good, very classic Brunellos. I can think of very few wines in all of Italy that have improved more than Castiglion del Bosco’s over the last decade. Well done. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, April 2018) — 6 years ago

A nice rustic chianti. Rich and textured if a bit rough. Flavours of black fruit and and an almost licorice tone. Medium finish. Nice to drink it in the hood. Bravo Gussalli Beretta — 7 years ago

Amazing! This is the 2006 Coli Euganie Moscato from Vignale di Cecilia. Paulo, the wine maker only makes his moscato in the best years, allowing the grapes to raisinate on the vine. The result is a spectacular dessert wine with a beautiful honey bouquet and a delicious golden raisin palette. Perfect for pairing with dessert but won't overpower you with sweetness. So incredibly good! If you can find it, buy it! — 9 years ago

Die Cabernet Sauvignon Trauben dieses Weins stammen von einem einzigartigen Weinberg im Alto Jahuel am Fuße der Anden, dessen Rebstöcke alle mindestens 25 Jahre alt sind. Das Alter der Rebstöcke und die Beschaffung des Bodens sorgen für eine natürliche Einschränkung des Ertrags. Ohne menschliche Einmischung produzieren die Pflanzen nur ca. 6.000 kg Trauben pro Hektar. Die Trauben werden sehr sorgfältig handverlesen und dann der liebevollen Fürsorge und dem Weinverstand ihrer Meisterin Cecilia Torres übergeben. So entsteht durch die Zusammenarbeit von Natur, die durch den langsamen Reifeprozess im Maipotal für Trauben mit hoher Fruchtkonzentration sorgt, der "Zauberkraft" von Cecilia Torres und neuen französischen Eichenfässern, in denen der Wein seiner Bestimmung entgegen reift, dieser wahrhaft edle Tropfen. Bei diesem Wein bedarf es keiner Worte über seine leuchtend rubinrote Farbe, seinem üppigen und fruchtigen Bouquet oder seinem komplexen Geschmack mit fruchtiger Fülle, dieser Wein muss getrunken werden, um ihn zu verstehen. Es ist ein ganz phantastischer und einzigartiger Wein, der zu kräftigem und würzigem Essen sehr gut passt, und auch sonst, wo man einen vollmundigen, eleganten Wein braucht. Dieser Traum von einem Wein verfügt über hervorragendes Lagerpotential, was ihn in den nächsten Jahren noch über sich hinaus wachsen lassen wird. — 11 years ago

On the nose; more round ruby, ripe, perfumed, dark cassis, sweet candied black plum, blackberries, black raspberries, raspberries, candied violets, sweet dark rich soils and perfumed purple florals.

On the palate, the body is full. The palate is richer and the tannins are more velvety but, are still sticky and a bit chewy. The fruits are perfumed, ruby, ripe; black raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, creamy raspberries and cherries & strawberries as it opens. Dark rich soils, used coffee grounds, dark chocolate, some mocha & caramel, gravely dry soils, cigar, soft leather, light pepper, good, round acidity and a nice balanced finish.

I hate all champagnes and while this is a Vino Spumante Rose it is essentially my champagne and will now be my preferred bubbly. It is slightly sweet but not dry like a Brut. I made tangerine Mimosas and they tasted terrific! Highly recommend it for other champagne haters like me! — 7 years ago

05 vintage at In Situ (yes I brought in the wine for early Cecilia Chiang dinner) and it was full mousse at first pouring. Just gushed and relaxed into precise focused wine with intensity and subtleness. All the peaches and zest but drank mostly just like Cristal should always. It's why they get away with that packaging! — 8 years ago
