50/50 sangiovese grosso and merlot. Full bodied with dark fruit, some touches of coffee with bitterness and acidity but great structure with earthiness and great tannins with a long finish. Definitely something to try again. — 7 months ago
House wine, available by the glass, at Il Focalare,Montespertoli. Back with Curly after 18 years. Reminds me of my previous favourite Chianti Classico, Rocca delle Macìe. A superb example of Chianti Classico. — 25 days ago
Powerful aroma including cassis blackberry and cherry, oak vanilla. Chalk mineral. 30 min, much better, but not necessary for deep decanting. Almost 2019 Lucente 21 @6500, Bic - Oren I G, 250922-250924 — a month ago
Amazing, bitter but so smooth as well — 8 months ago
Huge producer but all organic. Cranberry, cherry, orange peel, tobacco leaf, carob, perfect smidge of VA to keep things interesting. Ripe, tactile tannins. Touch hot at 14.5%. Drink or hold with or without food. I preferred the balance of this on day 2. — 14 days ago
Sadly This is no longer Trebbiano and Malvasia. Now it's 90% Chard and 10 % Pinot Grigio.. The Frescobaldi house pulled out all of their Malvasia and Trebbiano due to climate change (and Pomino is among the highest altitude growing regions of Tuscany) - and replaced those vines with these more hardy and more boring varieties.
Interesting that they kept the same exact name and label, but I guess it's all still accurate?
This also very sadly means no more Vin Santo.

2007 vintage.
Given to me by one of my best friends.
He said go pick something from my fridge and take it home….OK
Developed cherry, leather, tobacco and herbal sage notes. Still holding astringency and acidity in balance,
