We had the 2007 Vintage on 2/21/26. An excellent aged Brunello. Leather, tobacco, raspberry, and rose petals. All the expected scents and flavors are there. I am glad we had this now; probably not going to be good much longer β 4 months ago
From Tuscanyβs Val dβArno di Sopra, in the hills east of the Chianti Classico region. This is very friendly and pure tasting. Nose has gorgeously pure, ripe Sangiovese scents of dark cherry, along with some gentle spice and minerally gravel scents. Focused and concentrated fruit in the mouth, forceful but soft and balanced. Not a great deal of complexity, but lots of flavor and purity. β 2 years ago

Tonight I am enjoying the 2018 Torrione Petrolo Val D'Arno Di Sopra Petraviva Rosso. Super Tuscan from Bucine, Italy. A blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
On the nose we have blackberry, cherry, black olive, anise, dried roses, cedar, tobacco, leather and earth.
On rhe palate is red cherry, raspberry, blackberry, red currant, cassis, wild herbs, spice, pencil shavings and earth.
This wine is full bodied supple and very delicious medium + to high acidity and medium + to high firm sandy mouthcoating tannins that leave you with a long red and black fruit herbaceous finish. A new week again is upon us with many new and exciting challenges. Lets meet these challenges head on and make it a fruitful experience. Please stay safe and healthy and enjoy the week.

Strong tannins feel. Cherry notes. Feel the spice in the aftertaste β 2 months ago
Last of three bottles of this. Itβs never been the fruitiest or friendliest Brunello. And itβs still quite tannic, but itβs resolving well and, in my view, at its peak. To wait longer for the remaining tannins to fully drop would be at the expense of the remaining fruit. Color is going brown at the rim. Nice intensity and decent balance right now. Mostly tertiary notes, but there is a core of morphing fruit underneath. Should go well with the Tuscan beef stew (Peposo) Iβm making. β 5 months ago
Sesta Di Sopra Brunello Di Montalcino DOCG 2016: Medium-plus bodied. Well structured & balanced. Velvety tannins. Red & dark fruit dominate. Leather. Tobacco. Oak. Earth. Long smooth finish. For me, this was a beautiful classic Brunello that delivered in taste and expectations. You will definitely need time for it to show its true beauty however you wonβt be disappointed. This is what a quality produced Brunello looks & tastes like. Great day to all! Cheersπ· β 4 years ago

2023 vintage, deep cherry and floral aromas on the nose, light fruit forward taste with a smooth finish; decently balanced Sangiovese, great pairing with bolognese. β 3 months ago
2024/7/20-21. Aromatically this starts out pretty brown - lots of toasted spice and earth. With air it does show flashes of the deep, smoky cherry one might expect, and itβs still very enjoyable, but I canβt help wonder if this bottle (which I bought on sale) might have been a little worse for wear. I usually love Graciβs wines, and something felt a bit offβ¦ β 2 years ago
Sono sorpresso di alcolcota (sopra 15%). Ma cominque e' molto buono. Era perfetto per la cena di sukiyaki, hotpot giapponese. β 3 years ago
Yassssss! Just as good. Lacks the grip of some competitors but it maintains its balance. The fruit is so pure, lifted, and fresh. β 5 years ago
