Montevertine

Le Pergole Torte Sangiovese

An absolutely exceptional wine. As soon as we pulled the cork this bottle showed up. Beautiful, high toned, red and even a little blue fruit. Raspberries, violets, and cherries. Some wild herbs and earth. A beautifully made wine. — 2 days ago

Isole e Olena

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

Last of the my Mohicans, but at 10 yrs everything is balanced and integrated with smooth silky tannins. Tricky cork extraction but I wouldn’t recommend leaving it too long before you drink this vintage.
It’s terrific when you find a wine that is really singing and hitting the high notes
Overall excellent😀

Castellare di Castellina

Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2023

Blend of 95% Sangiovese and 5% Canaolo, medium Ruby color with aromas of red fruits, floral and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of sour cherry, currant and raspberry with tobacco, baking spices and nutty notes. Fine rustic tannins, vivid acidity, medium finish ending with fruit and earthy spice. Good now and short-term age as well! — 5 hours ago

Argiano

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020

2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins and 2 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body (as usual) first sampling. Meaty (but not beefy) with dark plum as backup/the club bouncer. Slightly chunky but eminently drinkable. Ff two hours and the body thinned out slightly with the club bouncer’s shift over. Dark plum gonzo and cola + Luxardo cherry now driving the party bus. Not quite as structured as the massive 2019 or as precious as the 2018. This is in a great spot now, if you must, and should be an absolute delight in 5-10 years. 3.6.25. — 19 days ago

Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi)

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

This sample was given to me. Tannins are resolved to the point of almost nonexistent. A fair amount of acid with what little fruit was dark and baked. Cherries leather and tobacco leaf. Darn yummy but I wish I had some food with it. — 11 hours ago
