Oak. 1 hour should be required. Concentrated. This has good taste different from Brunello. Moreover, this would possibly better because 2014, such young vintage has already been ready to drink! @950, Eva - XH, 190508-190509 — 6 years ago

Crooked Stave Nightmare on Brett Dark Sour aged in Leopoldo Bros Whiskey Barrels. July 2015, Batch 6. A mouth coating sour with so much going on. Long finish and the whiskey barrels add a nice underlying caramel note. Wish I had a 750 ml bottle. 375 ml is not enough. — 9 years ago

In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice, blend of 80% Sangiovese with rest Merlot and Cab Sauv. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. Consistent quality, a Fav!! — 9 months ago

Palate has rich berry fruit flavors, baked cherry, with tobacco, cacao & subtle spice. Soft tannins, long finish ending with seductive earthy tones. Nice, aged well! — 4 years ago

Tenuta Il Poggione was founded at the end of 1800 when Lavinio Franceschi, land owner from Florence, decided to visit the area after hearing the stories from a shepherd, who brought his herds around Montalcino during the winter. #46 on Spectator’s 2017 top 100 list. I gave a blind tasting and threw this in with their Brunello, this “Baby Brunello” caused a stir! Red berry bouquet with cherry and citrus flavors, fine soft tannins, medium+ tangy finish ending with earthy spice notes. Great value! — 7 years ago
