Valdicava ‘Madonna del Piano’ Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG Riserva 2010: Big & balanced with silky & strong tannins. Complex & concentrated black fruits. Tobacco. Leather. Earth. Licorice. Spice. Long lasting finish. All in all, this was the third outstanding Brunello selection from last week’s Dallas event and the most powerful & expressive wine. Great week to all! Cheers🍷 — a month ago

Not sure I would have called this Napa blind. Cedar, cassis, currant, chestnuts, pepper, and a hint of dark chocolate and tiny bit of berries. Really tasting good right now! — a year ago

This wine has what I love about Italian whites - uncompromising minerality and salinity. That’s the nose in a nutshell, with a light touch of white flowers and a waxy feel. The palate sports a nice lemon mineral note, with slightly racy acidity and a barely bitter finish. I paired it with pierogies and minestrone. Happy. — 5 months ago

The 2017 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Malandrino is pretty and poised in the glass, leading off with mineral-laced cherry and blueberry, earthy mineral tones and hints of animal muskiness. It soothes the palate with silky textures, while cool-toned red berries with a salty-savory twang of acid adds tension. This closes long and pure, with hints of grippy tannins balancing its ripe fruit persona, as the mouth waters for another sip. Well done. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)
