Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2022

Always love the wines from Ragnaie and this is no exception. Needs an hour or so of air to come into balance - but once it does, really nice fruit with good refreshing acid on the finish with some somewhat rustic tannins. Nice wine. — 2 hours ago

Gran Passione Rosso Veneto Corvina Merlot 2022

I’ve posted on this 2022 a few times previously, wanted to compare it to the 2023 we also had, this is much better than the newer 2023, more depth and complexity, longer finish, very fine $15 wine!! — a month ago

Podere Poggio Scalette

Il Carbonaione Alta Valle della Greve IGT Sangiovese 2012

From a double-magnum. The 2012 “Il Carbonaione” pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing and initially reticent. After almost an hour of air, the bouquet emerged to reveal some funky cherry, red flowers, bergamot, horse blanket, green herbs, old wood and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. After plenty of air, this became really tasty stuff but the large format has really retarded the aging process. Similar bottles likely need well into the next decade to enter the zone. Killer with food. — 9 days ago
