2007 Citille di Sopra Rosso di Toscana IGTRed Blend more |
5/11/2010 - olecram1 wrote: NRI am lucky enough to have visited Montalcino in Northern Italy. The bottle I drank is actually a "Rosso di Montalcino", not "Rosso di Toscana". It is their plain table wine, which is of great quality. Like the food in Italy, it is its simplicity that makes it so special. Of course, I am comparing it to others in its price range. If you are not expecting too much, and are looking just for a pretty decent wine for a regular dinner, I don't think you will be disappointed. |

4/7/2019 - RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 92 pointsRed cherry, mixed with darker plum along with spices, tobacco and earth notes on the nose. Medium bodied (14.5% ABV) with bright red cherry upfront, gaining density as well as darker, more complex fruit notes through the mid-body. Good structure on the backside, but it's neatly joined with the fruit through the middle so they work together quite well. The longer it's open the more it deepened and the more the fruit overall moved to the blackfruit end of the spectrum. The tannin-based structure is such that this should be held for at least another 2-3 years. But after about two hours open, the complexity and depth of the fruit and the balance this wine already possesses suggests it will be well worth the wait. (Ristorante Virginiae; Rome, Italy) |

11/24/2023 - tadams66 Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis is nicely evolved but I don’t think it will change any more. It is in a wonderful place and even better on the second day. Lovely lush mouth feel with dark fruit and a little leather. Wish I had more. I really love the 2010 brunellos and this does not disappoint. |

10/1/2023 - RGCM Gananda Likes this wine: 92 pointsPrior bottle was almost 2 years to-the-day and this wine has evolved along the lines I'd hoped. Plum, black cherry, floral and spice notes on the nose with just a touch of black raspberry. Between medium and full bodied with black cherry upfront showing good expression and a nice touch of brightness as well. Mid-body adds darker black cherry as well as plum. There good density as well as good depth through the middle. Tart black cherry, acidity and tannins as well as spices, earth and mineral notes through the finish. Did take some time to open up and while it showed well throughout, it didn't show it's best until 3+ hours open when the balance and integration both took a step forward. Should continue to evolve along these lines as has a good amount of upside, so I'll wait until at least Q4 2024 for my next bottle. |

4/9/2016 - Ron Van Holland wrote: 95 pointsGarnet color. Stunning bouquet of cherry, cherry licorice (anise), and sweet spices, all expanded by echoes and overtones. The arrangement brings integrated, smooth tannins of magnificent breadth, that join together with mouth-watering bitter chocolate in an impressive finish. A palate that expresses all of the architectural edges of pure, unblended sangiovese. Sublime. |

1/23/2013 - ecola Likes this wine: 88 pointsAromas and flavors of dried sour cherry, subtle earth, and some garden herb. Medium body with decent acidity. A decent wine, just not all that exciting. Does pair very well with penne and sausage in marinara. |

10/8/2011 - ecola Likes this wine: 90 pointsDecanter for 2.5 hours. Aromas of dark cherry and a little sweet earth. Medium body. Hugely intense flavors of sour cherry and a bit of toasted oak. Balanced acidity and fruit. Sweet gripping tannins. Old world all the way, total food wine. |

9/23/2016 - jeffreylubowski Likes this wine: 89 pointsI can't imagine a wine drinker not liking this. It is so easy to guzzle. Some red fruits, maybe cherry. It has absolutely no typicity, there is no brunello here. But then, not every wine has to be a slave to that. It actually reminded me more of an argentine malbec or napa cab. JuSt a nice smooth tasty bottle of fermented grape juice. |

7/9/2017 - Rich S Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted for 45 mins. Light to medium ruby color with some bricking around the edges. Nose of black cherry, roasted plum, a bit of cedar cigar box, floral notes and some sweet oak spice. Slightly warm on the nose but not overly so. Mostly dark red fruit driven flavors on the palate with a mix of sweet and savory flavors and warm oak notes on the finish. Medium+ acid and tannins with a juicy mouthfeel and dry finish. This wine showed much better than expected based on some other notes but this drank really well on its own and even better with a meat based tomato sauce. |
