Gran Conti
Sangiovese
A very good wine and not just for the price. It was super smooth and full of flavor. I liked that it was fruity and full of flavored and didn't over power the meal it was paired with. A very nice find. Highly recommend it. — 3 days ago
Caiarossa
Super Tuscan Blend 2010
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose of red currants, cherries, blueberries, vanilla, licorice, oak, cloves, spices, dark chocolates, wet leaves, earth, leather, light vinaigrette and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with dark cherries, sweet raspberries, tobacco leaf, spices, wood, vanilla, vegetables, vinaigrette, bitter herbs, forest floor, river rocks, leather, pencil lead, peppercorn and earth.
Long tangy finish with grippy tannins and tart cherries.
This is a nice surprise. This 9 year old Tuscan is still young and austere. Needs 5 years to mature properly.
Needs 2 hours to open up properly and show the big tannins.
Still unbalanced, but already enjoyable and better with food. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers.

Trebbiano d'Abruzzo 2013
It smashed away all the rivals at least by miles
It definitely occupies a sweet spot with me, but onestly the liveliness, vibrancy, enjoyment and, least but not last at all, the lenght of the aftertaste together with its cleanness they justify its reputation and fullfil anyone expectation

Dominio Los Pinos
Ca'ls Pins Red Blend
Musty raspberry leather rose smell, great magenta color, dark but color is ripe, taste is rustic but balanced with a good central balance and creative flares that mix berries but not jam and wood with old mustiness but still slightly fresh and juicy (not sweet) that has thickness like a syrup but almost sweetness disguised in acid and some tannin — 14 days ago

The mango variety of Tropical Moscato is made from 88% Moscato grapes, 10% mango pulp and 2% passion fruit pulp, while the passion fruit is 95% grapes. There is now also a strawberry version, which I did not sample.
Both are sweet and fruity on the nose, with a strong floral sense. They’re sweet on the palate, too, and low in alcohol at just 5.5% abv. The passion fruit bottle shows a nose that’s a bit earthier. Honestly, I knew which was which and I couldn’t really tell the difference. Both are sweet and simple and don’t require much in the way of thought. I’m guessing they’ll be best served quite chilled, outdoors, on a hot summer day. They probably make a good base for a summery cocktail or two, with some gin or vodka in the mix.
