Benefizio Castello di Pomino Bianco Riserva Chardonnay 2021

This wine has a nice yellow tint and a nose that shows the restrained use of oak. The aromas also have an earthy salinity about them, with a fruity undercurrent draped in apple, almond and dried apricot notes. On the palate, there is a more noticeable oak effect, but still within reason. The mouthfeel is full, while the acidity is bracing. It is a savory wine which brings the fruit almost apologetically. Delicious, and a great match for dishes from seafood to chicken to pork. Anything with a creamy sauce will pair beautifully with the Benefizio Riserva. — 2 months ago

Via del Campo Falanghina 2021

At dinner the other night, we ordered this in place of the Kenzo Sauvignon Blanc and it did not disappoint. Lovely tropical fruit notes. It was a great substitute for our favorite wine. — 8 months ago

Montigiano Sangiovese 2019

ショーンの弟子とも言えるティムマニングがエノロゴ。
キャンティクラシコでも2021が出回る感じなので、少しゆったり目の回転のようで、スクリューキャップなのだが、熟成香とまでは言わないまでも、少しこ熟れた感。
カリッとしたエレガンスというよりは、ふんわり柔らかなエレガンス。
全房発酵の有無は分からないが、あんまり感じない。
華やか。でもしっとり。上品。

Case Via Colli Toscana Centrale Syrah 2013

Remarkable syrah with tons of cocoa and cherries. Also some typical (italian?) acidity.
Good effort.

Fontanafredda

Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Nuanced and balanced fruit, tannins were balanced/subtle. Hits above the average Barolo for quality at this price point. A perfect wine for lunch to wrap up an Italy trip at a hidden gem of a wine bar in Firenze. — a year ago
