Fonterutoli Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Cranberry, tart strawberry, tart cherry, menthol, oak, and cedar. Nice bright fruit with a long finish of zippy acid. Some tertiary notes of prune, burnt sugar, and mulled fruit are apparent, but it can age a bit more. I think it is in its prime now, though, at 7 years. Medium body, medium alcohol, high acid, and medium plus tannins. — 6 days ago

Aromas of sour cherry, dark plum, cedar, steeped black tea, and tobacco. Shows more earthy and mineral elements on the rich palate. Medium to full body. Bright acidity and rustic supply tannins. Solid Chianti Classical as one would expect from the house of Antinori. — 5 days ago

Il Censo

Praruar Terre Siciliane Catarratto 2020

Delectable Wine
9.3

A deep, cloudy orange color in the glass, the 2020 Catarrato Praruar opens with an airy blend of dried apricots, crushed apples and ground ginger. It’s soft-textured and round, with ripe orchard fruits and a cascade of liquid inner florals that coats the palate with youthful tension. The 2020 tapers off wonderfully fresh, tactile and firm, leaving the mouth watering as hints of candied citrus and sour melon resolve on the close. This is a fantastic vintage of Praruar that can be easily enjoyed by fans of orange wines. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

Soave Classico Garganega 2022

Dependably good. Nose has straw, meadow flowers, apple skins and bright pear. Bone dry, with a persistent but very subtle bitter note throughout. Different in the mouth than those nose suggests. Nice. — 11 days ago
