Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Three vineyard blend, Ruby color with a aromas of red fruit, earthy herbs, cedar and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of herb pepper, floral and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, good balance with fine tannins ending with cacao, leather, fruit and earthy notes. Ok now but a few more years will benefit. — 16 days ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 1.9.25 (9.3). Did indeed pick up extra for the resto and down to 1-2 bottles left. PNP. Still beyond solid for the price. It you find this vintage retail and it is $50 or below, you'd better pick it up or I'll call the federales/gendarmes/polizia/po po myself. — 3 months ago

Ruby brick translucent, well balanced tannins, acidity and minerality, tart cherries and currants, solid montalcino — 7 months ago

Disclaimer: fatty food is needed with this wine to cut through the acid. (Rating would be lower if guanciale didn’t save the day).

Plum. Cigarettes.

Overall… it’s a really well made Montepulciano when you consider the price.

The red mtn fruit is dominant here, bright red fruit, intense minerality, and grippy tannins. Ripe cherry, figs, and a hint of currants... yum! — 5 years ago

A rush of ripe red berry fruits waft from the glass, as licorice, sweet spice, and rosy florals join the mix. Silky textures envelope the senses, finishing with saline minerals and youthful tannin. Wow this Emilia-Romagna Sangiovese is an unreal value. $17.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020) — 6 years ago

Great value! 2015 on the hotel list was a find. Deep wine with plenty of character. Some CDP elements. Haven’t had Whitehall Lane in over a decade! — a month ago

Had the 2023 in January of 2025. First sip out of the glass was strange. Kind of sour fruit, butter and wood. Gave it time to breathe and swirled in the glass and then it was really good. Light fruits- dark cherry and blackberry. Hints of wood and leather in the finish. I always tend to jump right in. Have a decanter but don’t always head to it based on other people’s comments, I probably should have! But time in the glass was kind. Was a very interesting wine that I would love to have again. — a year ago

This 2022 is definitely more evolved than its 2023 stablemate, a tad less fresh than bottles drank last year (2025), medium-long finish, still quite good, I’m thinking this is ideally drank no more than 4 years from vintage. — 2 months ago

Good Barolo but nothing special. Reasonably priced and a good value at $35. Tastes like Barolo should taste. — 3 months ago
