Muted nose with dusty lemons, green hazelnut, a touch of underripe pineapple, and a fresh, uplifting minty note. Great purity & freshness here.
On the palate this shows great concentration- there’s depth & weight and yet this isn’t heavy, on the contrary - poised, elegant, superbly balanced.
Beautiful tension and purity.
Clearly not Burgundy, nor Germany and def not New World. Surprising acidity & freshness for Tuscany.

In 1961 Fabrizio Bianchi, a textile manufacturer from Milan, realized his dream and purchased Castello di Monsanto and, in so doing, realized a long-held dream. Bianchi undertook the complete restoration of the vineyards and winery. A top wine on 2016 lists, Ruby with berry fruit and floral spice scents. On the palate cherry with notes of tobacco and cacao. Rich full tannins, well balanced on lingering finish. Perfect to drink now. Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago

Perfectly balanced Barbera from Monferrato… no blueberry jam here, this Bobby Stuckey curated wine has enough “lift” to pair well with charcuterie and more. Dark cherry with a hint of limestone… aged in neutral oak and concrete by Fabrizio Iuli — 5 years ago

Hey now! Aren’t you a lippy one!? Unheard of and forgotten… Fabrizio Iuli brings you the Slarina variety. Transparent but never hollow. Driven by its earthy mineral laced spicy character, fine textured tannins and a fresh palate with a ripe and juicy red fruit profile. — 8 years ago

Here we’re sipping a Super Tuscan: Montepeloso, Eneo, Costa Toscana IGT, 2016, 14.5% ABV.

It was made using a proprietary blend blissfully marrying several native Italian varieties, Montepulciano, Sangiovese, Marselan, and Alicante; the precise blend in a given year may vary based on the needs and wants of the vintage and the desired expression of the winemaker, Fabrizio Moltard.

This wine is deep ruby and offers developing notes of black cherry, plum, fig, anise, licorice, fennel, nutmeg, allspice, black olive, new leather, wet earth, and cured meat.

This wine is a reflection of the terroir of the Tuscan coast, with vibrancy in acidity alongside deep black fruit and earthy notes. It is dry, with a full body, high alcohol, medium(+) chewy tannins, and medium(+) intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. The finish lingers.

Fabrizio Iulli Rossore a Barbera masterpiece. 21-28 days maceration and 24 months maturation in large casks. Impressive fruit concentration in high def resolution, ripe but very vibrant red fruit that is flirting some black fruit followed by herbs, high toned floral lift and a rocky savouriness. A piercing acidity is directing the palate and is balanced by the round fruit with a slight gum gripping tannic grip. Graceful walk with plenty of impact. — 6 years ago

Debut vintage for Fabrizio Iuli making Grignolino. Some 3000 bottles made, aged in concrete only. As with all his wines these days, ripeness is controlled perfectly, tannins obvious but grainy and the acidity handsomely fruity. — 8 years ago

Ok so this wine had a more of a fruit forward taste but should be noted minerals were light.
The restaurant though in Tribeca... Go! — 9 years ago
