This was not as good as the 2021, but it is still outstanding. Deep ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is deep with black cherries, sandalwood, slight loose tea and a bit of spice. Medium to full bodied. Good acidity. Medium tannins. On the palate, this has some depth but the fruit is toned down from the 2021 version. Still, it offers up black cherries, cherries, slight forest floor and spice. Good finish. This is better with food i.e pasta, pizza, etc., but it would work well with Roasted Root vegetables, too. drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
A tremendous value for a tasty, food friendly wine that has some "stuffing" to it. Deep garnet in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is open with cherries, pomegranates, forest floor, slight earthiness and sandalwood. Medium to full bodied. Light to medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, this is open and drinks easily. Flavors of cherries, dark cherries with some underlying earthiness. Good finish. This is nice on its own but better with food. It would be perfect with a plate of pasta or a pizza with tomato sauce. Drink over the next five years.
This organic wine from Tuscany is 100% Sangiovese fermented in terracotta amphorae and aged in wood barrels. Deep purple in color, mostly opaque and bright. The nose is nice with dusty cherries, slight spice, leather and slight thyme. Medium body. Medium tannins. Good acidity. On the palate, flavors of cherries with a bit of dust. Good finish. This is drinking well now and should continue for another five to ten years.It is nice on its own but better with food. A great choice for Pizza nights but also a classic pairing with pasta.
