Tuscany Sangiovese

Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2016

Andrew Cullimore
9.5

Medium ruby . Quite reserved , spiced red fruits and mineral hints . On the palate this is really concentrated and mineral but really quite young and intense . Lots of high acidity and grippy tannins , very saline and mineral on the long vibrating finish . Come back in 5-10 years and will last well a further 10 . At Vinous Icons NY , Pier 60 , Feb 2025 — 15 days ago

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

9.3

I like the graphics. It looks like the wallpaper in an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia in 1965. The wine is great, too. I'm sneaking a sip while I cook, and hoping there will be a sip left when I'm done cooking. You ever do that?
I won't break down the flavor profile; it just tastes like solid Sangiovese.

Drank with boneless ribeye perfectly cooked. Great red berry fruit; dark strawberry. Some richness. Really smooth. Some spiciness. Would love to try this with another few years of age. Light tannins. With SW board and Blues. — 15 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

9.2

Rich red fruits (cherry) reflective of the excellent vintage. Rich savouriness on the medium + bodied palate. Liquorice notes. Based on how good the 2019 Rosso was from Uccelliera was, this was always going to be a winner. — a month ago

Hi Bob, do you think it still needs additional cellartime or is it already approachable?

@Anthony De Blasi Probably both Anthony - it is certainly enjoyable now but no problem cellaring for a few more years. Such a good vintage for Brunello.
