Pian Del Rosso

Fattoria Poggio di Sotto

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

First bottle of a half case we bought at the domaine in 2021. Definitely will be better in a few years but nice to try one on the earlier side. What they say is true - this is really easily Brunello level. At this point the nose isn’t giving a ton, but there is great depth of fruit and earth on the palate. This hits in several more parts of the mouth than most wines and the finish goes on for quite a while. Medium plus tannins and acid which should balance out a bit with some more age.

Opened the bottle 5 hours prior to service and then decanted for 2. Real candidate to be 9.5+ in a few years.

Very nice as noted previously, it’s got that Nebbiolo weight that floats. — a month ago

Le Macchiole

Bolgheri Rosso SuperTuscan Blend 2017

This is a very punchy, rich wine, likely a blend of Sangiovese with some bordeaux cépages like Cabernet. Actually works very well with rich food and has enough acidity and balance. Not our prime stuff in style but honestly was really good. — 18 days ago

Le Macchiole Bolgheri Rosso blend always over delivers for the price.
Merlot, Cab Franc, Cab Sauvignon and sometimes Syrah added to the blend.
Absolutely a favourite wine.

I guessed right for the Cabs then. I agree at these price points there is not much at this quality ! Do recommend any other of their wines ? Thank you Jamie !

Bianco is Chardonnay with a touch of Sauvignon Blanc.
Scrio is Syrah….very tasty.
And Paleo is Cabernet Franc.
All are age worthy and will reward your patience..

Tenuta delle Terre Nere

Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese Blend 2023

Nicely concentrated Sicilian red, with muscular tannins backed by deep and dark fruit with somewhat sharp acidity. Reminds me of a young California Central Coast red blend. Nice pairing with red sauce pasta but probably better after four or five years of softening in the bottle. Had the 2023 vintage with Paccheri Lisci (spicy pork sausage sugo, fennel, sage, pecorino) from Jame Enoteca in El Segundo, CA. — 16 days ago
