Trebbiano & Malvasia macerated and aged in clay amphorae, with no added suplhur. A slightly orange wine - "blush" perhaps? Very raw and slightly earthy on the nose, freshy and a bit cidery, but certainly in a good way. Floral and curry leaf notes as well as all the fresh apple. Extremely thist-quenching, fun and popular with all.

Viognier & Roussanne blend (unsure of the proportion). Solid straw colour. A nice combination of fatness and steel, with passionfruit, honey and a touch of cream. Intense, focused acidity (not something I associate with these varieties!) and a bit of an acetone note. A superior sipper.

Drinking so well tonight - like pure essence of Sangiovese. Bright red fruit seasoned with dusty terracotta, so clean and juicy that it glided down despite some useful tannin and acidity, delightful aromas of black tea and violets. If only all Rosso was like this!

100% Sangiovese from the southeast tip of Tuscany, where Umbria and Lazio meet, fermented spontaneously and refined in a combination of cement and steel vats for one year. Tasted young, and there was a touch of spritz. Raw-ish and stemmy, dusky flowers, cola cubes. Not a bad wine, but didn't shine in this company.

Very mature, as expected. Deep, soft and leafy, lots of earth and tobacco, and some even more tertiary aromas such as menthol and shoe polish. Silky soft but slightly sharp with that Sangiovese acidity. In good condition and certainly delicious, but definitely got the impression these must on the downslope now.

What a lovely wine! I've been a bit sceptical about Super Tuscans, but this was powerful evidence for the defence. Dark and balsamic, with pine notes that reminded me of the eucalyptusy Penfolds 707. Lots of plummy fruit and a touch of vanilla, and incredibly refined. A superb bottle, that seemed to be consensus WOTN.

Viola Gorelli told me a couple of weeks ago that she really likes this vintage, and I can see why! She also commented that, due to the estate's altitude, they tend to do well in warmer vintages. The wine was ripe-ish with sufficient acidity, giving and approachable, with the flavour of summer pudding... all in all, wonderfully hedonistic.

Didn't excite me quite as much as the bottle back in 2020, although not sure why - and it was still very good. Pure and clean, with refreshing, food-friendly acidity, some dark balsamic notes and a feeling of garnet brightness; perhaps on the austere side for Brunello, but so easy to drink.

From magnum, and at an excellent stage of evolution in this large format. Ample, inviting and deep with blackcurrant and a touch of truffle. Loved the long finish.

A bit strange - good acidity, but seemed more mature than its age implied, and a little bit clipped and herbal. Not obviously flawed, but perhaps not helped by the run of excellent reds that preceded it. Not rated.

Pretty young still. Lots of juicy dark fruit, seasoned with menthol and burned meat. Deep and juicy, perhaps a touch of undergrowth coming through towards the finish. Come back in five years?

A friendly wine, and really well-judged in the context of the vintage, though still a bit young. Gamey and grippy, then a slightly short finish.

Intense, with plenty of gingery spice as well as all the sweetness you'd expect. Soft and pretty, without the impact of the best vin santos.
