Messer Oto Aglianico del Vulture Aglianico 2017

Medium deep ruby with garnet rim . Freshly cut herbs like sage and rosemary with cedar , plum and dark cherry , liquorice . On the palate quite dense but with fresh acidity and firm slightly dry tannins . More of the plum and dark spiced cherry , blackberry, herbal and liquorice touches on the reasonable length finish . Drinking well now though will continue to show well over the next 5 years . Slightly under the radar with good personality and surprising freshness . — 14 days ago

Il Marroneto

Madonna delle Grazie Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

This wine will evolve into one of the best Brunello di Montalcino’s, just spin a bit too tight at this moment to show off the exceptional aromatics and structure. Dried red and white rose petals, English breakfast tea, charred plum, Cohiba cigar. — 2 months ago

Pietro Nera

Valtellina Superiore Grumello Nebbiolo

I’ve had this 2017 a few times now. Opened 3 days ago snd was tight and austere. Now it’s gorgeous. Cherry fruit leather. Hint of black and licorice. Dusty tannins, likely to be at its peak in a couple of years. — 6 months ago
