Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2021

Paid €45 for the bottle at Osteria Del Pavone. Marco was the wine captain and his recommendation was excellent! It was a delightful Chianti - rich and full!  we would get it again. Price was reasonable for a Restaurant.  — 2 days ago

Castello di Verrazzano

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas and flavors of red and black cherry, red and purple flowers, orange zest, savory herbs, pepper spice and ash. Very chewy tannins and quite hefty for a Chianti. Medium bodied. Could stand some additional bottle age. Thanks for sharing, James W. — a month ago

Collares Ramisco 1999

Ramisco from Colares is one of my bucket list experiences so anytime I get to share (& it must be shared!)a bottle it’s a special experience indeed. Truffle, aged bark, blackberry must on nose; on palate those notes plus sour cherry concentrate, cassis, & forest leaves all in a light medium body. Did not decant & wondered if mildly corked (vs needing air). I experience these wines as remarkably evocative, & find my self transported to, for example, my English grandfather’s library in London,as a child, which I suppose is another way of saying it’s a”contemplative” wine. I also find the 500ml format an excellent way to sample aged, noble wine like this- the Goldilocks of proportion. I humbly bow to my dear friend for breaking this out. — 18 days ago

You’ve got to be kidding me. A 2007 Salvo Foti wine. A museum piece. Wonderful Etna Rosso minerals, herbs, deep red fruit. Thank you Alex, for finding and gifting it. — 12 days ago
