Well this bottle cost me a Nickel as it was my Birthday Wine bottle from Total wine. For this price, this is pretty good. Actually, even for the retail price of $15 it’s pretty good. Red fruit, leaves, wet stones, stewed fruits, nice body and acidity. Medium finish. — 4 months ago
Hell yeah. Dried red fruits, tar, and orange peel, with a feral streak. Good grip. — 6 months ago

Tenuta Tignanello ‘Marchese Antinori’ Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG 2017: Medium-body. Great balance. Nice acidity. Beautiful deep ruby red color. Full aromas of cherry, vanilla & spice and palate flavors of red fruits, plum, blackberry, dried herbs, chocolate, vanilla & soft oak. Fine integrated tannins help to produce a long silky finish. For me, this was a gorgeous Chianti Classico wine and definitely one that is ready to drink & enjoy right now. I’d call it a young Tignanello or Tignanello’s little brother. Go give it a try!

Marchese di Borgosole — Rosato Puglia Rosé Blend 2024, Puglia IGT — Italy 🇮🇹
Overview:
A southern Italian rosé crafted from a local blend of indigenous grapes (not available into, but typically in Puglia rosé style draws from Negroamaro, Primitivo, or even Sangiovese. The 2024 vintage leans drier and more restrained, shifting focus from fruit to freshness and balance.
Aromas & Flavors:
Subtle notes of strawberry, raspberry, and watermelon, with lighter fruit intensity than the 2023 (also reviewed). Delicate floral hints and a touch of citrus bring lift and clarity, giving it a more refined and less fruit-driven profile.
Mouthfeel:
Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity. Noticeably drier, cleaner, and more linear than the prior vintage, with a refreshing finish that carries a subtle savory edge.
Food Pairings:
White pizza, cheese-based dishes, antipasti, grilled vegetables, and light Mediterranean fare. Excellent as an aperitivo, but truly shines alongside creamy and savory flavors.
Verdict:
A more composed and food-friendly evolution of this rosé. Less fruit-forward, more balanced and dry, making it the more versatile and compelling vintage.
Did You Know?
In southern Italy, rosés are often designed to handle warm climates and food pairings, which is why many lean toward a drier, more savory finish rather than overt fruitiness.
🍷 Personal Pick Insight:
The v.2024 takes the edge, less fruit, more structure, and significantly better with food. And if adventurous, a white pizza pairing? Spot on! — 2 months ago
Popped and poured a small glass for myself to check on how it was showing. I thought it was super grumpy and backward, so I splash decanted; made a world of difference. The 2021 Riserva pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe, red fruits: raspberries, rose water, pastilles and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Charming stuff after air. Drink now through 2036…if you can keep your hands off it. — 5 months ago
