Great paired with steak. Medium bodied. Had in the Dominican Republic — a month ago

Pietradolce

Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2022

Nice acidity, brownish tint, very much like a hamstring or pn. This is a food versatile wine; I had it with a pork chop Milanese; would be great with grilled chicken. Vibrant fruit, some pepper and flint. — 2 months ago

I heard of buying wine futures but I’ve never heard of drinking wine from the future.

One thing I dislike about Delectable is if you put the vintage in before the review, it goes blank or puts in what it thinks the pic tells it.

Sicilia Il Frappato 2010

Large format, 15 years old…showing a little signs of age, but still spritely enough. A few years ago, this would’ve been in its prime — 3 months ago

Fattoria Poggio di Sotto

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

First bottle of a half case we bought at the domaine in 2021. Definitely will be better in a few years but nice to try one on the earlier side. What they say is true - this is really easily Brunello level. At this point the nose isn’t giving a ton, but there is great depth of fruit and earth on the palate. This hits in several more parts of the mouth than most wines and the finish goes on for quite a while. Medium plus tannins and acid which should balance out a bit with some more age.

Opened the bottle 5 hours prior to service and then decanted for 2. Real candidate to be 9.5+ in a few years.

Il Rosé di Casanova Prugnolo Gentile - Sangiovese Rosé Blend

Not too many Sangiovese roses in my life. This is good. As it warms it gets much more earthy and vegetal. A lot of red watermelon, but overall savory. Pretty great with bbq. I’m guessing not so great with lighter fare or to crush over an afternoon. — 5 months ago

Cantina Zaccagnini

Il Vino Dal Tralcetto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

Deep purple in color; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced intensity primary and secondary aromas of blackberries, dried herbs, and vanilla; on the palate, it's dry, with high acidity, high tannins, medium alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of plum, baking spices, a hint of black pepper, and crushed gravel with a long finish. This wine is intense and balanced, but it's difficult to differentiate the flavors. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 2 months ago

Le Macchiole

Bolgheri Rosso SuperTuscan Blend 2017

This is a very punchy, rich wine, likely a blend of Sangiovese with some bordeaux cépages like Cabernet. Actually works very well with rich food and has enough acidity and balance. Not our prime stuff in style but honestly was really good. — 4 months ago

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso blend always over delivers for the price.
Merlot, Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon and sometimes Syrah added to the blend.
Absolutely a favourite wine.

I guessed right for the Cabs then. I agree at these price points there is not much at this quality ! Do recommend any other of their wines ? Thank you Jamie !

Bianco is Chardonnay with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc.
Scrio is Syrah….very tasty.
And Paleo is Cabernet Franc.
All are age worthy and will reward your patience..

Pithos Rosso Vittoria Nero d'Avola Frappato 2020

Popped in poured; no formal notes. The 2020 Pithos Rosso is, to my palate, a lovely Sicilian alternative to Beaujolais. Delicious, refreshingly fruity and just a touch wild. Sufficient structure to provide enjoyment for the near term, but I would just as well drink now. I really enjoy these wines.  — 6 months ago
