Valdicava
Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese
Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Herbs and sweet spices on the nose, tertiary aromas on the palate, with good tannins and acidity to leave it kicking.
Nice mouthfeel.

Monthly WTF wine night with a theme of “something to impress”. As always, wines were tasted blind.
This was so young, but it was great to get a feel for where this is going...could be stellar in 5-7yrs. Cardamom, black tea, Dusty and underripe raspberries on the nose. High acid, black cherries, tar and rose petals round out the palate. Needs lots of time. I called this Cabernet Franc from right bank.

Flowers and juicy. Firm and soft tannins

Was quite elegant and smooth. Seemed a tad light following Canallichio but quite good.
