Vintage 2018 | I do not know wines of Donatella Cinelli Colombini that have disappointed me. This cuvée is new to me. The dragon in the label is Carlo, Donatello’s husband. The 8 doves on the label are the women who made the wine. This is the first Italian winery staffed by women only. It’s a bit curious for the grapeblend that is used is unusual: 60% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 20% Sagrantino. Purple red colour. Beautiful cherries in smell, vanilla and a hint of cacao. Very vibrant taste with good acidity. I paired this dragon wine with a diabolo spaghetti. A sauce of San Marzano tomatoes and red pepper, pancetta and minced beefmeat. — 6 months ago
2017 Memorious Pinot Noir
2017 Bloom’s Field Pinot Noir
2017 La Côte Pinot Noir
2017 Sous le Chene Pinot Noir
2014 Sandhi Blanc de Blancs
All Pinot Noirs were delicious. Memorious tasted some spice with black pepper. Bloom’s Field showed darker fruits. La Côte was fuller in body and riper on aromas. Sous le Chene had the best concentration and the most complex profile with hint of wild bouquet. The Blanc de Blancs was refreshing with a tad of funkiness, possibly from VA and a little oxidation, 3 years on lees, all adding to the character.
What’s especial about Sous le Chene is that it’s sourced from this 10 rows of vines literally right next to La Côte but you can somehow really taste the difference between the two. — 5 years ago

Lots going on, probably best suited for savoury food pairing, slightly rich. Sense this could use a few years in bottle to integrate. — 7 days ago
