The Nubiola 2018 is highly recommended. Already perfectly drinkable — a month ago

In its prime. Perfect balance of cherry berry and some tannins to finish it off…light enough for a quick quaff, but enough body for osso buco — a month ago

Back in 1995, Tenuta La Massa’s “Giorgio Primo” was a different wine than the version that is made today. Back then, Sangiovese was a predominate variety in the blend. So much so, it was still carrying the Chianti Classico designation. Today, I’m not so sure any Sangiovese remains, but I digress.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1995 “Giorgio Primo” pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of dessicated Morello cherry, red flowers, leather bound books, porchini, tiramisu, wood varnish, dry earth. Yes, definitely some VA. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This sees a little more barrique than I prefer but it’s undoubtedly an excellent wine. Drink now through 2030. — 11 days ago

Just great. Outstanding Bdx-blend SuperTuscan. Deep, complex, juicy and rich. Lovely now with a decant, probably even better in a few years’ time. Might be underrating this one. — 2 months ago

For the price, this is a pretty good everyday drink. Cherry and stewed fruits aromas. Smooth with red fruits and a nice long finish. — 4 months ago

Fruity, quite dry, really a solid sparkler, nice acid, medium-long finish, perfect for this 110-degree day (yeah, it’s a “dry” heat)!! — 14 days ago

One of the most well balanced Italian wine I have had. The nose shows oak, granite and coco nibs. Very smooth palate with cherry through out. Well worth the 14.99 from total wine. — 2 months ago

Had the 2019 in April of 2024. Really enjoyed this. Dry but red cherry softens the dryness. Earthy with light tannins. Great buy for the price. Plan to get this one again. Had with chicken and mushroom risotto and paired remarkably well. — 4 months ago
