Illo, a Magnum charity bottling from Felsina. According to the label, a selection of the best barrels of Rancia, Fontalloro, and Maestro Raro. Based on the dates it looks like it was aged for about 40 months before release. — 9 years ago

Slow O'd for 2 hours, followed by three more in the decanter. A bit acidic on initial pour, but much better with food and best on the last glass. Give this some more time and air. Pure and clean.

Sounds really interesting, Steve.

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
