Opened sometime prior to service. The 2020 Rosso pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, dried green herbs and dry, organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from nose. The finish is medium+ and savory. Textbook Sangiovese Grosso and ever pretty. Drink now through 2040. — 13 days ago

2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Delicious, yet $93.10 a bottle resto cost so tuff to swallow. Did not suck but so many other beautiful Rossos at a fourth of the price. Nice glimpse/daytrip into the lux Biondi-Santi world tho. 7.8.26 — 4 months ago

Pleasant 100% Italian Cabernet that will take another 5 yr to flush out and develop more character. But smooth and elegant now. Add a point or two in 5-8 yrs. — 7 months ago

The oak has integrated from my previous note in February 2017 where the influence of oak Barriques was overly present. Sangiovese is not enhanced by too much oak in my opinion and is best matured in large Botti like I said in my previous note like Biondi Santi. Red cherry and earth notes finishing with powdery tannins. Coming together. — 9 months ago

My contribution for a guys night of rosé sparklers and Brunello. Alongside a few bottles of Biondi Santi, Il Poggione, Mastro Janni, and others.

Zero experience with this producer, and while I struggle to find my preferred “style” in Italy (Italian merlot?, old Barolo?, Brunello of all ages?), this brunello was lights out good and right up my alley. I slow-oxed this for almost an hour. Layers! Deep red. So floral and sweet-spice forward aromatically with faint oak. Dense and powerful core of roasted black cherry, tar, sweet tobacco, light balsamic and herbal pop with a juicy and massive finish…big structure (but the acidity keeps this hard to resist another sip). Obviously in a slightly bigger style thanks to the vintage, this is incredibly well put together and complex. I think I have one more, thankfully.

Day two showed an even more integrated wine that was firing on all cylinders. Decant 2-3hrs or hold a few more years for this window. 94-95+

Served with lobster ravioli, prime beef tenderloin carpaccio, lamb rack…about as good as it gets with rosé sparkling wines and Brunello! — 2 years ago

Dried red cherry and balsamic notes with a touch of sage. An excellent Rosso. One of the remarkable features is the location of the vineyard which once fed the Biondi Santi Riservas and is alongside the current Biondi Santi according to former Delectable poster Eric Guido. — a month ago

Funky goodness. Some fruit, tons of acidity, some stone fruit, maybe grilled fruits, herbs and spices. Pretty full bodied. — a year ago

Lovely body and mellow honeyed notes make this white sing. As always from opentuesdaywines.com, bracing acidity to hold it all up. — 2 years ago

Another wine from Ciro at Le Volpe e l’uva, this vermentino was terrific and was a perfect pairing with the homemade potato gnocchi with pesto that Vanessa made for dinner. Yum! — 6 years ago

Brilliant. Elegant and well balanced. Superb. Outshone the Biondi Santi - albeit completely different character. Love the smooth caressing finish. Beautifully balanced — a year ago
