Poggio alle Mura Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2018

Deep Ruby color with berry fruit, fragrant spice and earthy cedar notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, and cacao with notes of floral spice. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and cedar wrapped in an earthy herb mineral spice character. Starting to drink well now, will age. — 5 months ago

Fattoria Poggio di Sotto

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Juicy and vibrant. Red/dark fruit dominate but there is also earthy flavours and the unmistakeable old world musty library book thing. Silky. Firm but well integrated tannins and high acidity. Great food wine. Better in 5 years. — 5 months ago

Poggio alla Sala

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Sangiovese 2019

Very pretty color of ruby with medium intensity.

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red cherries, blueberries, plums, raspberries, spices, light oak, dark chocolates, peppercorn, herbs and light earth.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 5-year-old Sangiovese from Montepulciano is already drinking nicely.

Elegant, spicy and tasty with a nice mouthfeel.

Nicely balanced and tangy. Good by itself or with food.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$30.

Archetipo Colli Tortonesi Terre di Libarna Timorasso 2021

My first Timorasso. At first a bit dainty & shy on the nose; crushed nectar pits, white flowers, some white peach & artichoke hearts. On palate very textured, like Huet Chenin, but in a parallel universe. Minerally & reserved, this feels like it could go decades more- which is my understanding it can. The aroma notes are echoed on palate, with additional quince & pale fig notes, with a very slight off dry character (overall quite dry). For about 26$ a steal— I guess it’s a hard sell, this Timarosso.. This can either run as a food wine or not, & it’s delicious. — 7 months ago

@Ceccherini Cristiano Cec, see my 2 notes on the Massa Timorasso - 2 vintages how he grubbed out his Cortese vines and planted Timorasso, essentially saving the latter and reviving the planting of the grape.

Timorasso is on my hitlist of grapes that need more attention

@Bob McDonald in that case agree on that, when the cortese is in the wrong area take it off, but when you mention the Docg Gavi i don't think there is point. Plus who knows if the timorasso might grow well there...perhaps it could be a good recommendation 😅😅.
