Sipping Fine Wine

Badia a Coltibuono, or "The Abbey of good harvest," lies in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, between Florence and Siena. The Abbey is approximately 2000 years old. Blend of 90% Sangiovese; 10% Colorino, Canaiolo, & Ciliegiolo. Deep Ruby color, aromas of black fruit and earthy spice nose. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with savory tannins, good balance, black pepper and cacao notes. Medium+ finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Good now. — 21 days ago

ビンテージが切り替わったので、チェック。
カルレオーネの19が固い印象だったので、気になって飲んでみたが、エレガント。
紅茶やタバコ、チェリーっぽい酸とミネラル感。
ただ、少し水っぽさというか、酒躯の密度が緩いのが気がした…それでも美味しいワイン。
やっぱりブルゴーニュグラスがいいね。 — 3 years ago

100% Sangio. 100% incredibile! For a 28th anniversary dinner with my wonderful wife. Sight unseen (so to speak) I was impressed beyond words. Went to Coltibuono this summer but didn’t taste this; however they swore up and down that the Sangioveto had the goods. And it did in spades! So rich and savory. The depth of cherry fruit and silky tannin is off the charts. I only wish I had another bottle to age for 3-5 years and taste some heaven then. Molto buono!!! — 9 years ago

Truncated notes from our family Biden election celebration. Intense nose has hazelnut/hickory nut notes, date/golden raisin fruit, length than reverberates endlessly. Wo-wo-wee-wo, as Borat would say. — 6 years ago

Look up all the grapes in this and be amazed (as well as tongue tied). One of Coltibuono’s premier cuvées, it is soft and round and beautiful. — 9 years ago
