  January 10, 2024 - Not sure why there are so few (and mixed) notes for this wine on CellarTracker. It was a vibrant little highlight at the New York LDM tasting this fall. And though humble, the 2021 Montesecondo Sangiovese IGT lingered in the back of my mind, the memory bright as a new penny. Was I out of practice tasting in that busy a room? Dazzled by the bright lights and big city? Tired from the drive from Maine? And honestly just how good can a Sangiovese IGT be?!?
  
  I’m here to tell you friends, pretty damn good. The robe is a transparent ruby to the rim. The nose is inviting and perfumed upon opening. Attractive aromas of wild strawberry, morello cherry, reveal themselves even before pouring. Hints of forest floor, dried tea roses, and sweet spice express themselves upon pouring. There’s a faint whiff on cured meat lingering on the periphery that lends complexity and a touch of grounding earthiness. Midweight and agile on the palate with more of the juicy red fruit flavors and a fine balance between ripeness and liveliness. Bouyant acidity and ultra fine tannins frame all the ebullient fruit. Ode to Joy as expressed in an organic Tuscan red wine (as rendered by a local brass band). Excellent length here and a rippling, rising, sprightly finish. Plenty of pleasure to be found without taking oneself too seriously.
  Given the architecture and weight here, I’d enjoy the current flush of happiness and opt to cellar the Chianti Classico while laying this down by the case for a pizza wine. One shouldn’t be afraid to enjoy the simple pleasures of a pie and this whiz-bang, firecracker of a Tuscan red. Splendid stuff and well worth the tariff. I’ll give this 1000 pts with a Roman style pizza amuse and bucatini all’amatriciana and braised escarole. Bravo, Silvio Messana!

  Trop trop cher pour ce qu’il a à offrir…
  Ma deuxième bouteille…. Il n’y en aura pas une troisième

  July 28, 2023 - 14/20 Rubis aux reflets violacés. Intensité moyenne. Nez effacé…. Bouche aux saveurs tertiaires mais avec des notes de kool-aid….
  Ça goûte le vin ordinaire voir d’industrie loin de l’artisanal.
  Nature, non-filtré et bio ? Il y a comme une arnaque…..
  Bof, on repassera pour la complexité et le vrai plaisir.
  Il ne vaut pas le detour et surtout pas le prix demandé.
