  • 2011 Montevertine Toscana IGT

    Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT

    This was excellent.
    A classic chianti blend (sangiovese, canaiolo and colorino) but famously not labelled as such.
    On the nose it plays the hits - dusty red cherry, tomato sauce then on the palate wonderfully intense red chery but supremely elegant (are we allowed to say Burgundian???). A wonderful balance of intensity but lightness. I can see why this is so highly praised.

  • 2005 Sellari Franceschini Morellino di Scansano Morello

    Italy, Tuscany, Maremma, Morellino di Scansano

    Certainly some brett on the nose but enough to be interesting without being a problem. Some savoury aromas and flavours balances out dark cherry.
    This was fun but would drink up if I had some.

  • 1996 Marchesi Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli Siepi Toscana IGT

    Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT

    Meaty, umami nose leads you in to a tangy red cherry palate.
    Velvety tannins and good going acidity. Excellent wine and drinking so well

  • 2010 Giuseppe Quintarelli Rosso del Bepi Veneto IGT

    Italy, Veneto, Veneto IGT

    My wine - a single bottle gift.
    It didn't really do what i was expecting - this is essentially an Amarone in all but name but didn't give the dried fruit quality I might have expected but certainly had plenty of fresher fruit and elegance too.
    This felt to me quite coiled in a way with more to give. I don't have a good angle on how Amarone ages. Would have liked to ponder this more but also don't see getting another bottle given the price of entry here.
