Nice and rich langhe nebbiolo to go along a cabbage and tomato stew made by my wife. Superb pairing. Cherry, coffee, toasted almonds, an earthy thing too. This is quite inviting yet a bit austere and mysterious even. The palate shows a great acid drive, a suave and soft mouthfeel at first, almost mouth-coating, with cherries and red berries all along. There is width, there's a bit of grip that turns into tannins in the rear. These tannins become quite powerful and power up a long and nice finish with cherries, a slight blood orange note (with a tiny bitter note) and that drying layer that goes on for a while. Tannins are actually tamed by the tomato and the beef in the stew and that's why this pairing rocks. By itself, chances are that they could be a tiny bit too harsh. Very good stuff ! — 25 days ago

Layered smell with chocolate coming first then a light poke of alcohol. Very easy to drink, with only a hint of tannin, and refreshing aftertaste (2-3s) of mixed spices. Notes of cherry, blueberry (or maybe raspberry). Would be good to pair with light game (pigeon, rabbit) or heavier fish. — 3 years ago

Casali di Bibbiano Ombroneta Argilla Rosso Toscana IGT 2021, Tuscany, Italy

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!

Ruby/ purple in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose that feels more like red Bolgheri.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Super Tuscan is already enjoyable, even by itself. Rich and powerful.

Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Soft and elegant.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in stainless steel vats for 12 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$50. — 7 months ago

This is very smooth. And an extreme bargain. Juicy but dry. Dark fruits. Some leathery notes at the end. — 3 years ago

Medium Ruby red color with aromas of berry fruit and earthy spice, organically grown fruit. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with tobacco, floral and earthy flowery notes. Full-bodied, well balanced approachable tannins on a medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. From organically grown grapes. — 6 months ago
