Slight petrol on very dry switchgrass. Birchbark, paper myrtle, matchstick. Dried lemon, red apple and clove, orange pith, burnt kettle aromatics. Medium mouthfeel with lemon charge, pencil wood, madeleine, sweet grapefruit, cocktail lime and a slight persimmon and papaya reversal. Simultaneously crisp and heavy, but always lighter in retrospect. A genuine dichotomy. #cortona #toscana #italianwhite #sauvignonblancday #whitewinereset #whiteleather #bianco #donotrepeatthishashtagunlessyouwantvampirecurses #blanca #blanco — 7 years ago
Another amazing Sangiovese out of Cortona. Another amazing price point as well, found it for as low as €8.50. — 11 years ago
80% Sangiovese/20% Merlot and I LOVE it. Just the right blend of strength and smoothness. Opened up quickly...barely needed to decant. I'm definitely grabbing a bottle next time I make a rib eye. — 7 years ago
Spicy taste great with steak. — 12 years ago
Black olive tread left burnt across blackberry tarmac. A spotting of shiitake and portobello with plum and strawberry reductions garnished with eucalyptus and parsley effusion. Black olive, charcoal, black cherry, black currant, graphite, teakwood, oolong, black pepper, dried violet and sage make this a winner. Initially pointed and closed. This is Day 3 tasting, and beefy and bright dichotomies abound. #aranth #syrah #italianwines #italian #veneto #LaCalonica #cortona #earthy #earthynotes — 7 years ago

Light bodied and crisp. Lovely early autumn red. Just right with cacio e pepe. — 6 years ago
