2009 Duemani Cabernet Franc Duemani

This is a fabulous wine. Everything is in the right place. The nose is rich with small berries flavors. The palate delivers strong notes of ripe plums and cherries, chocolate and spices. The tannins are very silky. Long, yummy finish. I am so fond of it. A real gem.

2013 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Rosso di Montalcino
8/16/2017 - mmadonini Likes this wine: 93 Points
This is a superb wine that despite the price point over delivers against the "bigger brothers". I actually suspect that the ratings aren't as high as they should be because it's a relatively cheap wine. Dark beautiful color. Complex on the nose, ripe dark fruit and orange peel. Spices. On the palate, it's big, with strong tannins that will give the wine good cellar life. Crisp acidity, and cherries flavors. Long finish. 14.5% alcohol. I would dare anyone to taste it blind and not to think it's a brunello. It's there, just half the price. Buy it if you find it.

2010 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso

Starts with a great dark color that fades into lovely maroon at the edges. The nose is great, complex, with strong fruit notes of berries and underbrush and then evolves into licorice and wooden notes. On the palate, absolutely juicy with good acidity, strong yet integrated tannins, and a long, long finish. This is a great brunello from a great vintage. Love it.
