continuing in the vein of unusual Italian wines, we thoroughly enjoyed this 10 yr old Teroldego from Tuscany of all places: pouring a deep rich ruby, partially opaque with copious quantities of red fruit on the nose, some dark berried fruit as well, licorice, dirt & soil, peppery goodness some dried herbs and so on. complex and engaging, med bodied on palate, more fruit & spice, fleshy mild tannins and smooth finish - other than color, not showing its age. — 4 months ago
We tried this in like 2019 and we were blown away! We bought something like 4 more bottles and drank them over the years. Each time, there was more happening. And this time, there’s a whole new depth.
Lots of acid and the early dryness quickly moves into a tangy apricot flavour. There’s some green apple and even hazelnut at the end and a long mouth feel.
Don’t sleep on well made Timorasso. — 7 months ago
This is prime. Some red stone fruits in here, like plum, along with dark cherries, are really dominant. There is a good spice level, nice vanilla, and a freshness that I wasn’t expecting. Great medium body with medium tannic structure. Could keep aging for another half decade at least. — 6 months ago
2019 vintage. Picked up a bottle at Trader Joe's paying $21.99. For Brunello, light body. Pleasant nose. Playful and substantial enough-in a beyond solid Brunello vintage-to pick up a few bottles to have laying around for guilt-free/casual consumption within the next half-decade. 02.06.25. — 7 months ago
Sleeper hit #toscanaigt - typical #sangiovese dark fruit + spicy forest floor character all wrapped up in a high-QPR package. #traderjoes — 5 months ago
Pretty color of ruby with a fruity nose.
Medium to full in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate, elegant and rich.
Showing plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, chocolates, earth and herbs.
Tangy finish with medium tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Sangiovese from Montepulciano. Spicy and tangy. Complex and interesting.
This 7 year old is well balanced with a nice mouthfeel.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a Charcuterie board of meats and cheeses. Will pair nicely with a big piece of steak.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

First bottle of a half case we bought at the domaine in 2021. Definitely will be better in a few years but nice to try one on the earlier side. What they say is true - this is really easily Brunello level. At this point the nose isn’t giving a ton, but there is great depth of fruit and earth on the palate. This hits in several more parts of the mouth than most wines and the finish goes on for quite a while. Medium plus tannins and acid which should balance out a bit with some more age.
Opened the bottle 5 hours prior to service and then decanted for 2. Real candidate to be 9.5+ in a few years. — 13 days ago
