Castello dei Rampolla

Sammarco Toscana SuperTuscan Blend 2014

Truncated cookout notes. Very Graves like nose with lots of cigar box notes along with rich gravelly scents, and some nice plummy fruit. Not quite as deep on the palate as the nose would suggest (it’s a ‘14) but nice acidity. Finishing a tad short. — a month ago

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2012

Well structured and balanced, it displays an iconic ruby/garnet appearance, followed by secondary and tertiary aromas and flavors of woodland herbs, dried fruits and nuts, plus flavorsome balsamic nuances, and interesting red fruit undertones.

Overall, quite elegant and refined; medium bodied, with ample acidity, dusty tannins and a long, satisfying finish. If you’ve got it, now is the time.

Cascina Degli Ulivi

Semplicemente Vino Bellotti Bianco Cortese

Bright, effervescent red. Starts off kind of tasting like wet socks and then smooths and rounds out to dried apricot, green apple, and cinnamon, with a tart finish. Definitely something to worth chillingl! — 7 months ago

Monte Degli Angeli

Collezione del Barone Piemonte Pinot Noir 2021

Medium ruby color. Aromas and flavors of red cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Touches of tomato leaf, rose petals and violets. Hints of wet stones and freshly turned soil on the bright finish. Silky texture. Rich and elegant. Punches well above its price. Thank You Chris B! — 3 years ago

Argiolas

Korem Isola dei Nuraghi IGT Red Blend 2020

Personally i found this the great surprise of the line up.
Mainly Bovale finished off with some cannonau and carignan.
9 months of new barrique which the wine digests incredibly well.
Nice fruit, but the floral that the Bovale gives to the wine truly fascinates me and keeps me interested during every sip. Spices too plus leather and tobacco.
Tannin that will get smoother, but is already enjoyable.
Long finish
Serious alternative for cabernet drinkers
It is not the Turriga, but honestly i did not remember its beauty. Very elegant

Marchesi di Barolo

Antiche Cantine Dei Marchesi Di Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Gorgeous bottle of ruby red shades and intense aromatics featuring vanilla, spices, rose petals, and nuts. Quite complex. Great medium+ body and strong acidic structure but with a refined weight and balance, it’s not overpowering but has a lot of character. Really good lingering finish. — 7 months ago

Argiolas

Turriga Isola dei Nuraghi Red Blend 2019

After tasting the whole range from Argiolas you also realise how they got to this blend.
This is stunning, it absorbed 18 months of new oak easy.
Cannonau gives the freshness and the fruit with the carignan, the bovale donates the tannin and the floral shade and Malvasia Nera the aromatic.

Super velvety, fresh, complex and above all long.
It goes without saying this is only a baby.

Carema Nebbiolo 2016

THIS is my catnip- well constructed, ethereal, rose scented & colored Nebbiolo from a master. Light (13%) but has a quiet power if you lower your stimuli & quiet the effen’ down. I can drink this all week. Polaner. — 5 years ago
