Castiglion del Bosco

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

Medium ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of cherry, sage, tar, vanilla, and violet. Medium-plus body, with medium-plus tannins and high acidity. Lengthy finish. Meaty bouquet surprisingly similar to Northern Rhone Syrah. Rounded and plush. — a month ago

Le Macchiole

Paleo Bolgheri Cabernet Franc 2005

2005 vintage. Decanted with some sed and tasted over the course of two hours. Nice nose. Chunky finish that found a bit of finesse as time went on. Solid but unspectacular. 3.3.24. — 2 months ago

Ruffino

Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

This wine is colored dark purple, almost inky. The nose is wonderful, with an earthiness leading the way for plum, cherry and tar. The palate is loaded with dark fruit, earth and black pepper. The tannins are fairly smooth, but they work well against a Bolognese sauce. There is a nice acidity and a wonderful herbal finish. — 2 months ago

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2019

Delectable Wine
9.1

The 2019 Nobile di Montepulciano is a pleasure on the nose. Sweet spice complements raspberry and cherry aromas. Juicy acidity balances silky textures as rose-tinged red berries cascade across the palate. There’s a gentle coating of fine tannins and lovely energy as hard red candy hints fade. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2023) — 5 months ago

Casanova di Neri

Tenuta Nuova Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Serious wine this. Oaky with dark fruits and tobacco. Already balanced despite its youth. Definately not one of the lighter Brunellos. I loved this but drinkers seeking lithe, acidic elegance will be disappointed. — a month ago

Le Volte Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2020

️ Toscana IGT Rosso (Tuscany, Italy)
✔️ 오르넬라이아의 철학을 반영한 레드 블렌딩 (메를로•까베르네쇼비뇽•산지오베제)
✔️ 오픈하자마자 젖은 흙•페퍼•오크•바닐라 향과 체리•블랙베리•플럼 향이 복합적인 레이어를 만듦
✔️ 오픈하고 1시간 뒤에 산미 섞인 향이 팡팡 터지기 때문에, 최소 30분~1시간 전에 미리 오픈하는걸 추천
✔️ 시간이 지날수록 정향•삼나무•버섯 향 섞인 미네랄리티가 잘 느껴지고, 질감도 더 부드러워짐
✔️ 적당한 산미, 약하지 않은 피니쉬, 시간이 지날수록 부드러워지는 질감까지! 가격 대비 넘 맘에 들었음
✔️ 산미 덕분에 이탈리아 음식과 페어링 하면 좋을 듯함
✔️ 3만원대 가격에 쟁여놓기 좋은 맛있는 와인

👉🏻 트리플C나 시데랄보다 가벼운 바디감과 미네랄리티를 느끼고 싶을 때 생각날, 이탈리아의 매력을 듬뿍 담은 데일리 와인

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed over several hours. Clearly showing the solar nature of the vintage, the 2015 Fèlsina CCR pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of stewed cherries and strawberries, well-oiled leather ball glove, red flowers, curaçao, dried green herbs, and sandalwood. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes of the nose. The finish is long, tart and satisfying with ferrous minerals. A lovely pairing with Conchiglie Ripiene. While this is fully mature, it still has a healthy life ahead. Drinking very well now and should through 2030 with ease. — 5 months ago

Montevertine

Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2019

Médium ruby , medium ruby pink rim . Needs time to open up , with spiced red cherry , cut herbs , violets , slightly toasty hints . On the palate very intense red fruits , high acidity and quite gritty tannin . Quite raw and young this , really needs time . Quite saline and mineral on the long , quite lean finish , menthol tinged finish . Needs 5-10 years really will last a further 10 . Very promising . — a month ago

9.1

The 2021 Unlitro, presented in a fun 1-liter bottle, is a very pretty, aromatic red to drink over the next few years. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, cinnamon, dried flowers and orange peel all grace this light to medium-bodied red. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2023)
