Canto di Luna Nizza Barbera 2015

At ten, this is simply incredible. Predominantly black fruit with acidity off the charts that lingers long after the sip. — a month ago

Guardiavigna Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2013

Needs a 30 minute decant.

DO NOT POP AND POUR.

Nose: brilliant lilacs and cherries. Psychotic with air.

Palate: perfect cherries. Cherry liquor. Length. Perfection. Omg.

Chocolate covered cherries with cherry liquor.

Wow.

I was told this bottle is scarcely available as only about 1,000 cases produced each vintage and most of them stay in Spain.
Rich and ultra smooth, this somewhat reminds me of Clio. Coconut and Creme de Cassis overwhelmed initially but eventually settled down. Unapologetically hedonistic, it’s nevertheless delicious and possesses great substance. Would love to try one with some bottle age, but the first vintage release was 2014.

Villaggio Rocca d'Orcia Sangiovese 2020

For a Sangiovese that’s not “ super Tuscan”, there is evident oak. But this Jr.* package is finely knit, all in balance.
Lots of chocolate, mint, leather, dark cherries and oak tannins seductively put together. More of an adventure for those with some Sangiovese experience than an introduction. With Chicken livers & Garam Masala very nice.
Thanks, @FassSelections

Canto Sur Carménère Blend 2021

Medium ruby in color; plums, bell peppers, and paprika on the nose; medium acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like raspberries, jalapeño, and wet slate with a long finish. It's a really interesting flavor. It's not for everyone, but well made. I like it. — 4 months ago

Petrucci Orcia Sangiovese 2018

This has to be one of the most refined and finessed sangiovese I've tried. Think Hermitage or Saint Joseph levels of refinement and balance. — 8 months ago
