Riserva Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano Sangiovese Blend 2017

Very Lovely! picked this up at Total Wine in late 2024. Were initally a little concerned that cork was dry and broke on opening. Can't recall price but it was probably $20. Perfect for a Sunday supper of ravioli and neatballs. Would definitely buy again. — 10 days ago

Fattoria La Massa

Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of four days. Best on Day 1 and Day 2 though, still enjoyable on Day 4. Personally, I just think the freshness in day one and two was more redeeming. The 2020 pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe bramble fruit, black cherry, new leather, carnations, dried thyme and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the white is dry, medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with the addition of a coffee character, more like espresso. The finish his medium+. This is a notable, modern take on Chianti Classico without the DOCG. Drink now through 2030+. Solid with pizza. — a month ago

Giorgio Primo Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 1995

Back in 1995, Tenuta La Massa’s “Giorgio Primo” was a different wine than the version that is made today. Back then, Sangiovese was a predominate variety in the blend. So much so, it was still carrying the Chianti Classico designation. Today, I’m not so sure any Sangiovese remains, but I digress.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1995 “Giorgio Primo” pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of dessicated Morello cherry, red flowers, leather bound books, porchini, tiramisu, wood varnish, dry earth. Yes, definitely some VA. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This sees a little more barrique than I prefer but it’s undoubtedly an excellent wine. Drink now through 2030.

Monleale Colli Tortonesi Barbera 2015

Peppery plum is really shining through on this one. Red licorice and dried spice accents. Tannic grape skin gives it some grip. Long raisin finish. Like the Sun-Maid boxes I ate as a kid. A little sweet for me, but still good quality. Also added some to the passata I’m making from heirloom tomatoes, and it’s quite nice. — 3 months ago

Sor Ugo Bolgheri Superiore Super Tuscan Blend 2021

Lovely super Tuscan. Juicy with enough acidity and grip to stand up to smoked ribs. And not too expensive. — 5 months ago
