Really good, some smokiness, tannins mid but smaller amount of alcohol and mouthfeel. A little red fruit and mushroom. — 13 days ago

This Brunello strikes the balance between the dark aspects of Brunello and the bright berryishness of Sangiovese from a bit north in Chianti. Bright, ripe berries, spice, iodine, minerally gravel, new leather, and orange rind. Darker and lower-toned in the mouth than the nose suggests. Leather, earthy sandstone, and savory notes are prominent, but there’s dark ripe berry fruit too. A lot of tannin, but it’s quite soft and ripe, auguring for several more years of development. Really good length and balance. — 4 months ago

This was a great pairing with a salad with pine nuts Parmesan and dried cherries with balsamic dressing. Not tannic but good balance. Light but not without body. — 20 days ago

A single vineyard expression made from 98% Nerello Mascalese and 2% Nerello Cappuccio, the 2020 Moganazzi shimmers medium-ruby and introduces a wider range of red and black berries compared to the standard bottling. Swirling the glass reveals well-defined aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, figs, freshly cut herbs and delicate wood smoke. The medium-bodied palate offers a wonderful, almost silky texture with fine grained tannins, combined with a zesty high acidity, giving the wine a lifting freshness. Terre Nerre wines are always about elegance and reminiscent of a hypothetical blend between Burgundy and Piemonte. Drink now until 2040. — 2 months ago

Very earthy and mineral. Way to early to drink IMO — 21 days ago

9.1

Youthful exuberance recedes a touch with a decant, but this wine has some growth ahead. Great texture and expressive nose, tannins will resolve with a touch of time and will only up the score. Red fruit but spicy, good salty notes on the palate and developing length of over a minute. Just entering the window but more is coming. I’d expect the next bottle to be even better. — a month ago

Made from 50 to 100 year old vines and matured for 18 months in small and large oak vessels, of which 20% are new. Medium-ruby, the 2020 Terre Nerre Calderara Sottana is introduced by a hauntingly fragrant scent of red and black cherries, wild blackberries, Mediterranean herbs and crushed granite rock. The medium to full-bodied palate is marked by a firm tannic structure, nervy tension and wonderful fruit complexity, closing with an elegant, persistent finish. Drink now until 2040. — 2 months ago
