Le Chiuse Rosso di Montalcino 2021

Sangiovese | Tuscany, Italy

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

Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2024

Red Blend | Sicily, Etna

100% Nerello Mascalese Rosé is just so much fun! Dusty and floral, the 2024 Etna Rosato lifts up with a delicate mix of peach, ripe melon and minty herbs. It's juicy in character with crisp white cherry-berry tones that resonate. The 2024 tapers off with a gentle tension as hints of wild strawberry slowly fade.

Giovanni Sordo Barolo SCREW CAP HALF 2016

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

From the Perfume of Barbaresco, the Barolo shifts to a savoury, earthy profile, the richness of La Morra fruit shining through! 80% La Morra. Immediate generosity has it open for action but so much more. A little chocolate and little coffee, savoury bits on dark fruit. There is a lot going on here with layers of flavours and tannins. The depth and length are impressive. Wonderful harmony and presence.Full, dense and obviously really bright. Rose, maraschino, fleshy red plum/red prune. More

Margherita Otto Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

2019 is the first vintage of Langhe Nebbiolo to be produced. It is made from a small part of vines registered as Nebbiolo Langhe in the Vignane MGA (in Barolo, next to Castellero) as well as some declassified fruit from the Barolo parcels. In 2019, the Nebbiolo was fermented on skins for about 10 days before being racked to preserve fruit and freshness. It went through malo in steel and was transferred to a single 1000L Mittelberger botti for aging. This is super fresh and aromatic with Baro

Praeter Langhe Nebbiolo 2020

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Barolo Cru Druca Fruit from the Vineyards of Luigi Oddero! Historically from the La Morra Specola Cru from 2020 the fruit is sourced from the Druca Cru in Barolo. Declassified Barolo! Not for quality, but, for the shorter ageing timeframe. BOOM! The rest of the fruit from this Cru goes into the Langhe Nebbiolo. Specola is now bottled as a Cru Barolo with some of the fruit going into the Classico.The shift in Cru was based on a desire to find fruit with softer tannin to handle 100% wholebunc

A little intro to Antoniolo's Nebbiolo wines. Juvenia is from the final two cru sites, Valferana and Borelle. It's unoaked. I couldn't find any details of how it's matured. Suffice to say given the skill with the Riserva level wines it's not surprising that for its standing the Juvenia marries freshness with development beautifully. At just 13% alcohol it has a density that you wouldn't see in Barolo or Barbaresco at the same alcohol. Bright, fine acid balance the fruit and dusty front-mid palat

Tenuta di Carleone Chianti Classico 2021

Sangiovese | Tuscany, 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

Giuseppe Rinaldi Rosae 2020

Ruché | Piedmont, Barolo

About Guiseppe Rinaldi Rinaldi is one of the cult producers of Barolo. There’s been plenty written about him which I won’t regurgitate here other than to say, he clearly had a single-minded focus on quality. Beppe, sat in the more traditional camp of producers, and, like Bartolo Mascarello and Maria-Teresa, Beppe Rinaldi was an advocate […]

Giuseppe Rinaldi Rosae 2021

Ruché | Piedmont, Barolo

Well here's a fascinating drink! I've not had a Ruchè AKA Ruchet AKA Rouchet AKA Moscatellina before. I wonder how Rinaldi ended up with this in the mix and the history of the vineyard.The synonym Moscatellina is perhaps the one that first drew my gaze when smelling this. It does have some Muscat like aromas, I almost felt like I was smelling a pretty decent bitters. Galloni is on the mark with his discription. Before trying it myself I though perhaps he was having a Rinaldi Fan Boy moment.
