  Oh how I wish I had more of this wine!
  
  Two bottles in and I can only continue to enthuse over the quality and elegance this wine displays.
  Beautiful fruit flavours of cherry and cassis on the palate. Rounded and comforting and resounding in its beauty.
  
  Grab it if you can! Very limited production but well worth the chase.

  Well I have to say that, in the absence of more expert tasting reviews, this was a genuine delight that I could not fully anticipate.
  
  The designation of a Bassolino di Sopra is a high threshold and in the absence of pointers coming from critics’ reviews I felt I should open a bottle and try it.
  
  The tasting was very reassuring - and let me say, life enhancing. Quality begets quality. I opened my first bottle of the 2015 today - probably too soon for the “wine aging” purists - to be rewarded by all of the characteristics I had experienced with the 2012 and 2010, vintages. Production levels are purposely low.
  
  This wine, for me, defines the beauty and elegance of the more delicate expressions of a Brunello di Montalcino. Refined, fruit forward and supremely elegant. Relatively pricey - but unequivocally worth the experience.
  
  Grab it while you can. In my opinion this is a benchmark wine and ready to be drunk.
