Red Blend from Gaiole UGA, Chianti Classico
Delicious. It takes some mad skills to pull off a wine like this. The balance point between rosé & light red, the crunch with real flavour, the texture. Sure winemaking smarts are key, it's that innate sense of touch that allows a cluey vigneron to layer in the kind of character this has that makes the real difference. It's just an ace wine.The 2025 Rosato Toscana Fuori Misura is fabulous. This is the first vintage in which about a third of the fruit was picked and vinified as a lig
Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany
A staple on the Wine Decoded list! Another ripping Rosso from Talenti. Superb balance and texture. Plush with beautiful supple tannins, luscious fruit, juicy acid, and plenty of intrigue.Just like Talenti's Brunello this has to be one of the best value Rosso's year in year out. It too has great harmony and is delicious straight out of the gate. It's like Dr Evil's Mini Me! All that red fruit, earthiness, baking spices, woody herbs, great energy and much, much more.
Bordeaux Blend from Orcia, Tuscany
The term "Rosso Toscano" usually indicates an inexpensive wine made for everyday drinking. But in this case, the wine is essentially a Super Tuscan, made from a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Not a drop of Sangiovese, but it's unmistakably Tuscan — intense and concentrated, with a seductive tonal palate and enough body and tannic grip to age and evolve.The second label of Tenuta di Trinoro, Le Cupole was first produced in 1995. It is a blend of Cabern
Red Blend from Radda UGA, Chianti Classico
This looks very good. Earthy, savoury, vibrant energetic. Openning in the glass, to reveal a comforting, flowing, delicious wine. The faintest lick of botti oak wash. Excellent core of fruit layered and caressing. Delicious. Grape First. Just yum. Part of the new wave doing it in style! The earth and spice from Canaiolo, savoury & delicious. Relax, devour it and just smile!“The 2021 Chianti Classico is a deep, savory wine that is still coming together after its bottling. Crushed
Red Blend from Gaiole UGA, Chianti Classico
The 2024 Chianti Classico is a pretty rich wine for the year. Dark-toned Sangiovese fruit, new leather, spice, menthol and mocha all meld together in this glass. Supple and engaging, the 2024 has a lot to offer, tarting with plenty of immediacy and tons of San Giusto character.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 91 PointsSplash it in the decanter, grab a Bistecca Fiorentina & enjoy!
Red Blend from Greve UGA, Chianti Classico
Is it traditional Chianti Classico? No. Is it bloody good? YES!! The 2021 Chianti Classico is an elegant, gracious wine. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, tobacco, cinnamon and dried flowers all take shape in a decidedly delicate, understated wine from Rampolla. A model of elegance and finesse, the 2021 is showing beautifully today. There is perhaps just a touch of VA in the bouquet, but it is not especially evident. The blend is 80% Sangiovese, 16% Merlot and a dollop of Cabernet Sauvig
Red Blend from Gaiole UGA, Chianti Classico
The 2023 Chianti Classico is terrific. In fact, it is one of the most complete wines of the year. Dark cherry fruit, leather, cedar, menthol and lavender all take shape in the glass. The 2023 is dense but not heavy. Even so, I would give it a few years to shed some baby fat. It's an impeccable wine in a challenging year.Antonio Galloni, Vinous 92 PointsSplash it in the decanter, grab a Bistecca Fiorentina & enjoy!
Sangiovese from Radda UGA, Chianti Classico
Damn! My note is almost identical to the 2020!Radda is one of the cooler parts of Chianti Classico, as with the 2020, Sean has done the 2021 justice. Dominated by dark fruits with a pop of fresh red fruits layered with stalk spices & a little earthiness.There’s harmony & flow in this seamless elegant Chianti. Finishing with a fine sweep of bitterness that cleanses, followed by lingering flavours and a fine refreshing line of acid.A certain delicacy. The fine long tannins wi
Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany
Le Chiuse's Rosso di Montalcino just Keeps Getting Better! What a Rosso. I agree with Guido, it's dark and a little broody. Yet lively at the same time. Opening in the glass, blood orange, slate and dark spices layer into woody herbs. Incredibly complex and layered for a Rosso at this price point. Fine tannins with a playful cleansing grip wrap fruit of depth and length. A very good grape first Rosso, bold yet refreshing!Dark, animalistic and nearly feral, the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino is
Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany
Le Chiuse's Rosso di Montalcino just Keeps Getting Better! There are a couple of schools of thought when it comes to Rosso di Montalcino. One, make a baby Brunello, the other, make a fresh, energetic, delight to enjoy while you wait for your Brunello to hit the drinking window. Lorenzo's is the latter and done with style.Good to go on release, there is no doubt Lorenzo's Rossos will easily handle fair time in bottle. Lorenzo elicits tannins that are perfectly weighted with bright fruit to of
Red Blend from Radda UGA, Chianti Classico
Monteraponi 2024 CC takes after its name with a classical, elegant style. Fine with juicy acid, bright red fruit, deftly handled tannins with playful grip. Lovely bit of spice and perhaps a little stalk tannin. Thirst quenching mid-week Pizza wine well and truly sorted! A little earthy and savoury. Playful now. Another couple of years and it will add dimensions and build a little generosity for added pleasure.95% Sangiovese, 5% Canaiolo.As a winemaker watching the photo movie below I get
Sangiovese from Montalcino, Tuscany
Rosso doing it right! Fuligni's 'Ginestreto' is beautifully poised. Ever so devourable this is classic Sangio! Excellent. True to the Fuligni style, perhaps with an extra bit of complexity for the wine at this stage of its life. A wonderful core of fruit. This is more in the mold of a baby Brunello than a playful Rosso. Plush, with fine tannins, generous mid-palate and great length. The build in complexity with layers of intrigue, from earthy almost truffled pops. Long delicious. Plump and vital
