Well this bottle cost me a Nickel as it was my Birthday Wine bottle from Total wine. For this price, this is pretty good. Actually, even for the retail price of $15 it’s pretty good. Red fruit, leaves, wet stones, stewed fruits, nice body and acidity. Medium finish. — 4 months ago

Tenuta Tignanello ‘Marchese Antinori’ Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2017: Medium-body. Great balance. Nice acidity. Beautiful deep ruby red color. Full aromas of cherry, vanilla & spice and palate flavors of red fruits, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, chocolate, vanilla & soft oak. Fine integrated tannins help to produce a long silky finish. For me, this was a gorgeous Chianti Classico wine and definitely one that is ready to drink & enjoy right now. I’d call it a young Tignanello or Tignanello’s little brother. Go give it a try!

Marchese di Borgosole — Rosato Puglia Rosé Blend 2024, Puglia IGT — Italy 🇮🇹
Overview:
A southern Italian rosé crafted from a local blend of indigenous grapes (not available into, but typically in Puglia rosé style draws from Negroamaro, Primitivo, or even Sangiovese. The 2024 vintage leans drier and more restrained, shifting focus from fruit to freshness and balance.
Aromas & Flavors:
Subtle notes of strawberry, raspberry, and watermelon, with lighter fruit intensity than the 2023 (also reviewed). Delicate floral hints and a touch of citrus bring lift and clarity, giving it a more refined and less fruit-driven profile.
Mouthfeel:
Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Noticeably drier, cleaner, and more linear than the prior vintage, with a refreshing finish that carries a subtle savory edge.
Food Pairings:
White pizza, cheese-based dishes, antipasti, grilled vegetables, and light Mediterranean fare. Excellent as an aperitivo, but truly shines alongside creamy and savory flavors.
Verdict:
A more composed and food-friendly evolution of this rosé. Less fruit-forward, more balanced and dry, making it the more versatile and compelling vintage.
Did You Know?
In southern Italy, rosés are often designed to handle warm climates and food pairings, which is why many lean toward a drier, more savory finish rather than overt fruitiness.
🍷 Personal Pick Insight:
The v.2024 takes the edge, less fruit, more structure, and significantly better with food. And if adventurous, a white pizza pairing? Spot on! — 2 months ago
In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice, blend of 80% Sangiovese with rest Merlot and Cab Sauv. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. Consistent quality, a Fav!! — 7 months ago
Apparently I had this a few years ago. I still find it a delight. Toothsome, if wine is allowed to have that descriptor. Balsamic and not-sweet blackberry/fig jam. Enough weight and enough acid to keep it spritely. Omg love a good Lambrusco. It’s just the thing you need to bring some pizzazz without platitude sometimes. — 2 years ago

Oak. 1 hour should be required. Concentrated. This has good taste different from Brunello. Moreover, this would possibly better because 2014, such young vintage has already been ready to drink! @950, Eva - XH, 190508-190509 — 7 years ago

라이트한 노란빛깔에 풋사과의 연한 녹색이 섞여있는 듯한 프란치오르코르타. 신기하게도 NV가 아닌 2012년 빈티지. 샴페인보다는 굵은 선을 가진 기포는 힘차게 터지고 약간은 강할수 있는 산미가 먼저 입을 강타한다. 색깔처럼 애플의 톤이 맛에서도 느껴지고 시트러스 향과 맛도 조화롭다. 약간은 마초같은 느낌의 스파클링이지만 그럼에도 신나게 축하해주고픈 마음을 전할 수 있을것 같은 와인이다. 백화점 기준 6.9만의 가격이 약간은 아쉽지만, 축하할 일이 있을때 이정도는 기분좋게 쓸 수 있지 않은가! — 7 years ago
