continuing in the vein of unusual Italian wines, we thoroughly enjoyed this 10 yr old Teroldego from Tuscany of all places: pouring a deep rich ruby, partially opaque with copious quantities of red fruit on the nose, some dark berried fruit as well, licorice, dirt & soil, peppery goodness some dried herbs and so on. complex and engaging, med bodied on palate, more fruit & spice, fleshy mild tannins and smooth finish - other than color, not showing its age. — 2 months ago
I bought this bottle in Florence around 2019. I later found out the shop was owned by Antinori - the producer of the wine. An excellent Super Tuscan from Bolgheri. 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Dark Ruby with a tawny rim starting to develop. Classic Bordeaux descriptors of Cassis, herbs, tobacco and hints of cocoa with oak totally integrated. A rich and mouth filling palate such that it could have been from a new world vineyard in a good vintage. This is comparable in quality to a good Super Second. Interestingly the 2007 had the major change of Syrah being eliminated from the blend in favour of Cabernet Franc. An outstanding Bordeaux blend which exceeded expectations. I should keep an eye out for more bottles. — 22 days ago
Fairly well balanced, light for a Tuscan but sufficiently flavorful. Better on the 2nd and 3rd nights if well capped. Simple evening dinner-wine with a comfortable 13% alc. Definitely a good value from TJ. — 25 days ago

Paired with Bolognese sauce. Nice wine with food. 2022 vintage - really should have been decanted first. Solid depth and good fruit. Tannins hit up front a bit too much. — 4 months ago

The Terre di Talamo “Vento” Toscana IGT, is bright and layered Vermentino from the stunning coastal hills of Maremma, just south of Grosseto. Grown on slopes overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea, this 100% Vermentino is all about freshness, texture, and Tuscan charm.
On the nose, it offers inviting aromas of yellow stone fruits and sliced mango, with a touch of coastal minerality that keeps things dry and focused. The palate leans into ripe, juicy pear with a crisp, clean finish—balanced and full of life.
Bonus points for being crafted from 100% organically grown grapes. A vibrant, crowd-pleasing white that brings both energy and elegance to the table. Perfect for seafood, sunshine, and sharing. Cheers! — 14 days ago
