Prato, Tuscany, Italy
A delicious little Tuscan with some age and great developed characteristics.

Feb 24th, 2014I wept. Jammy strawberry nose with a little black pepper at the bottom. Beautiful supple mouthfeel. Lovely cedar quality I have not experienced before, incredibly smooth tannins, but still bright.

'O1 Pratesi, the definition of a garagiste wine producer from Carmignano. Rustic, but with incredible attention to techniques most suitable for this unique viticultural area. Vibrant Sangiovese.

2013 - $30
At 14% ABV and with 70% #sangiovese I was excited to try this big brother to the entry Pratsei! Much stronger oak presence didn't really seal the deal for me, although it was a wonderfully balanced wine, with #leather, #chocolate covered #cherry, ripe black cherry, #potpourri #spices, and ripe #plum. Great acidity!

Really gorgeous 2001 vintage. All elements fully integrated. Cherry and red currant fruit, allspice, medium tannins, tobacco. Paired with grilled pork, Romano cheese, and parsely sausage.

Fully developed, this was showing dried mint, sour cherries, leather, spice, green tea, and a silky smooth texture and lightness that was neat to see from Carmignano. I personally like most of the big and bold versions but appreciate the variety.
