Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2022

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. — a day 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 — 9 days ago

Pomino Castello Pomino 2023

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.
Times they are a changing.

Luce della Vite Toscana Sangiovese Merlot 2019

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. — 6 months ago

Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2000

I bought 12 bottles of this for 13 euros a bottle back in 2004. The, the last, may be the best one I’ve opened. Surprisingly. — 20 days ago
