(130 views) | | | Tasted by vinum bonum on 9/23/2021 & rated 89 points: Une très bonne surprise, je n'en n'attendais pas tant. Est-ce l'effet millésime ? En tous cas, le nez présente un mélange fruit frais/début d'évolution balsamique (timide) du plus bel aloi. La bouche est gourmande, c'est joufflu et charmeur, on ne sent absolument pas les 14.5, la bouteille est vite finie. Très agréable, 89+ (je pense que c'est, dans cette catégorie, supérieur aux langhe nebbiolos goûtés il y a quelques temps) (213 views) | | | Tasted by jyensan on 2/23/2021 & rated 91 points: What a great QPR. A wonderful Rosso with wonderful dark fruits, hints of leather and earth, and a pleasant mouthfeel. Wife agrees. Going to pick up some more to keep handy as an every day drinker. (288 views) | | | Tasted by PFLK on 5/7/2020 & rated 87 points: A powerful RdM with an ok balance. Lots of dark red fruit and alcohol. I miss a bit freshness. Need food. (280 views) | | | Tasted by Marc C on 4/18/2020 & rated 85 points: Nez très fruité (fruits rouges). Bouche légère, agréable, bien équilibrée (pas de sensation de chaleur malgré les 14,5°). Le fruit est à nouveau bien présent. Finale correcte.
Un bon vin, mais sans surprise. On ne s'est précipité pour se resservir... (312 views) | | | Tasted by Mtpisgah on 7/9/2019: Absolutely love this. Great baby Brunello. Varitaly correct. (403 views) |

Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteRosso di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino |
