Castel Forte

Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte

Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese 2020

A fresh, vibrant, and intensely flavorful Sangiovese (85) /Cabernet Sauvignon (15) blend. Begins with aromas of fresh cherry & plum with undertones of clove & sweet tobacco. A perfect pairing with homemade lasagna, and worth noting improved after a decant and into day 2! [9/6/24] ($18) — 20 days ago

Le Pianelle

al forte Coste della sesia Rosso 2018

What a great example of the region the way the additions of Croatina and Vespolina complement the Nebbiolo all grown on the acidic volcanic soil of the region. Red berry flowers mint. Very alpine feel. Plus built to drink early. — 8 months ago

Podere Forte

Villaggio Rocca d'Orcia Sangiovese 2019

Wow this is excellent. Had this bottle about 18 months ago and thought it was too oaky - but absolutely delicious tonight. Perfect pairing with roasted sausages with peppers and onions. Balanced tannins, great acid, quite complete on the palate. Very nice. Decanted 2 hours. — 5 months ago

Riserva Vigna Pedale Castel del Monte Nero di Troia 2015

Pretty solid rustic Nero di Troia. Probably the best of my 4-5 samples of this grape. 3 bicchieri is a stretch but it’s not like the Gambero Rosso guys don’t make worse calls. — 3 years ago

Castel Giocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2014

March 2024. Solid, classic, very enjoyable Brunello. Have had 2 vintages if this wine now. 2014 here and the 2016 in a restaurant. This 2014 (not a great vintage year) was surprisingly very good. The 2016 was young,so we decanted. It was much better, as expected given the great vintage year ‘16 was. Look forward to having more of this! — 6 months ago
