Vigna delle Raunate Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Fruit was more desiccated than expected, “porcini mushrooms and balsa wood all day long”

so smooth. and the Doobie. Bros. making it better. reminds me of a nice Italian girl I met in Canada. you know the story.

Paired with Tagliata- grilled creekstone 50-day dry aged sirloin, braised romaine, bone marrow panzanella

Very nice Sangiovese

This was a nice bottle. Nose is intense cedar and spice. Surprisingly little body given the aroma. Good acid. Noticeable tannins but nothing crazy. Very little fruit or oak. Nice brick tone to it in the glass. Dunno if I’d pay more than $29 for a bottle though.

Very nice. Enjoyed at the winery and again on our last night in Italy, packing up in Bologna

Very smooth. Dark color.

Pizza at the rental house 2021

Raspberry, sorrel, slight vanilla, ruby red, acid and jam is immediate and fruity, some grass, acid drives it

Excellent wine. Fruit forward but feminine and light taste. Easy drinker
