Giovanna Ciacci

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

This wine was decanted 2 hours prior to consumption. At first taste it was very tight and closed. Better 2 hours in. Nose of tar, smoke, mahogany, and tobacco; inter-mixed with a bit of earth and red fruit. On the palate not very generous but complex. The second glass was better than the first. The next day after leaving the decanter open to the room temp air this became more integrated and the fruit level improved. Classic too young Brunello. Currently 88 pets, better in the future. Currently the Ciacci Piccolomini is better, but it is hard to tell which wine will be better in 5-10 years. — 11 years ago

Helios Terre Siciliane Red Blend 2012

A 2012 out of a magnum and decanted. Nice dark red colour and an enticing brambly plum bouquet that was echoed on the palate. Very pleasant with balanced acidity that worked well with the homemade gourmet pizza it accompanied. I would be very happy to serve at an informal large gathering as it is very quaffable. — 11 years ago
