Sangiovese DNA strong here with tomato and cherry notes, but the other grapes (syrah, merlot) provide a bit of spice, rounder texture, and complexity. — a month ago

Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2003

Spicy dried red fruits with a touch of tar underneath, I detect that this 2003 is a touch more structured and tannic than the great 2000 I had a few days ago, long finish, great acid, still quite fresh (plus 12.5% ABV), excellent!! — 3 months ago

Citille di Sopra

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

Last of three bottles of this. It’s never been the fruitiest or friendliest Brunello. And it’s still quite tannic, but it’s 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) I’m making. — 4 months ago

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2023

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. — 2 months ago

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2000

Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — 3 months ago

@Tom Casagrande, I agree, I haven’t seen these in the marketplace much, I just posted on a 2003, and also have a few bottles of 1996 Boca left. But, your quality assessment is spot on!!

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2007

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 — 3 months ago
