Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Barone Pizzini was the first producer to make an organic Franciacorta wine. Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, medium golden color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with fine bubbles and light mousse. On the palate flavors of ripe apple and lemon citrus with biscuit and honeysuckle notes. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, citrus and floral mineral character. — 2 years ago

First time trying Le Piane.. well not strictly true, we had a glass of their Erbaluce at the beginning of the evening. Both wines were fantastic. Was introduced by a beautiful restaurant in the mountains (Villa Pizzini). Delicious. Shall be sourcing once back in the UK. — 4 years ago

An Australian Sangiovese made by an Australian Italian Family. Not particularly Sangiovese like the real deal but it does have cherry, dark chocolate and aromas of decayed matter. I recall Peter Scudamore-Smith MW saying on our Tuscan trip that he didn’t think there were any top Quality Australian Sangioveses made mainly because we are using the wrong clones. Australian Sangiovese seems to be a work in progress. Had another bottle 56 weeks later on 26th March 2020 with similar notes although showing more varietal characters this time of skins, earth and leather. — 6 years ago
