200 Monges Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2014

Under the radar to many, yet supreme winemaking here. Mostly dark fruit, picota cherries, plums, blackberries, ample bodied and length in a difficult year. Ageing gracefully. A star — 6 days ago

Antico Fuoco Rosso IGT Veronese Corvina Blend 2022

I've been passing this in the shop for about a year and bought it tonight. It's delicious! What a fool I've been.

Does it have amarone character?

No, it's not that big and bold. The merlot seems prominent- it's a lightweight easy drinker. x

Caulino Falanghina 2023

Bright, salty, mineral notes, has some body. The reviewers noting an oiliness are spot on. Floral, plenty of baked yellow fruit (pear, golden apple). — 8 months ago

Riserva Vigna del Fiore Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Sangiovese 1983

Took 2 hours to open up completely. Umami and tar. Lovely showing! — 4 years ago

Tettineive Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Absolutely excellent. Aromatics actually faded a bit with a 1.5 hour decant, so might watch that in the future. Lots of earthy cherry. Not overly refined, but in a good way - tastes like the older school piemonte that it is, with just the right bit of earth and leather. Excellent acid and a long pure finish. Great pairing with Kinderhook pork chops with a porchetta style seasoning. — 3 months ago

Scarpa old-school FTW!

Verso Sud Susumaniello

The vineyards are treated in the perfect climate. The grapes are harvested by hand after careful selection of the bunches. The must, obtained by soft pressing, lends itself to a gentle maceration on the skins and undergoes a light fining in the bottle before being released for sale. It produces a strong, intense ruby color with violet reflections. It releases aromas of blackberry and cherry, tobacco, chocolate, spices, and vetiver, harmonious and persistent. Great expressiveness and completeness.
This wine is a tribute to this successful combination of craftsmanship and technology, an authentic expression of experimentation.

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.
