Pomino Castello Pomino 2023

Sadly This is no longer Trebbiano and Malvasia. Now it's 90% Chard and 10 % Pinot Grigio.. The Frescobaldi house pulled out all of their Malvasia and Trebbiano due to climate change (and Pomino is among the highest altitude growing regions of Tuscany) - and replaced those vines with these more hardy and more boring varieties.
Interesting that they kept the same exact name and label, but I guess it's all still accurate?

This also very sadly means no more Vin Santo.
Times they are a changing.

Luce della Vite Toscana Sangiovese Merlot 2019

50/50 sangiovese grosso and merlot. Full bodied with dark fruit, some touches of coffee with bitterness and acidity but great structure with earthiness and great tannins with a long finish. Definitely something to try again. — 5 months ago

Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Intense on the nose but evens out with your meal. Medium mouth feel very balanced, noticeable pepper and red fruit, woody undergrowth or old pinball cabinet. — 2 months ago
