Tawny ruby in colour, this lovely Brunello offers a bouquet of blackcurrant, cherries and oak; beautifully balanced and well-structured, it has a lovely mouthfeel. Just a delight to drink now, or hold for 2 to 3 years.
Bright, intense nose of dried cherries, prunes and figs with a lovely mixture of dried fruit and spice flavours, hint of cocoa with a tight core, rich yet easygoing mouthfeel, well-integrated tannins and a long, fresh, flavourful finish. Best served with rich meat dishes or strong cheese.
An impressive Bordeaux blend with power and complexity from aging 18 months in French oak barriques. Complex, generously developed dark fruit is skillfully interlaced with notes of spice and fine oak. The entirety is encased in solid, but not forbidding, tannic structure displaying firm grip and intensity with a pleasing sensation of wine-soaked wood on the finish.
This Sangiovese/Merlot/Cab-Sauv blend bridges irresistible old-world character with impressive modern polish. Arresting aromas of cedar, dark fruit and lifted balsamic notes. The velvety palate reveals layers of rich cassis, gamey meat and earthy spice, with lingering leather and mineral. Excellent with lamb stew.
The complex aromas strike the nose with ripe fruit, dark spice and earthy savouriness. Prune, red cherry, liquorice, mocha, cigar and leather flavours fill the rich, firmly structured palate. Well-balanced tannins linger. Decant to aerate, which softens its texture. A match for pastas with hearty meat sauce.
The fresh, fruity aromas and flavours of floral, apple, pear and citrus delight both nose and palate. A rather rich mid-palate supports a soft frizzante mousse. The clean finish lingers with apple, spice and a touch of sweetness. An appetizing sipper with canapés.
Classic Vernaccia, a versatile food wine that deserves greater respect. Pale straw colour with a stony, citrus, white-peach nose, it’s crisp and elegant; well balanced, with good length ending on a grapefruit-zest note.
