2019 Dei - Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG
Wild herbs, black cherries and exotic spices create a wildly inviting bouquet as the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano opens in the glass. This is undeniably silky and elegant on the palate. Fleshy red fruits are neatly framed by bright acids, as balsam a...
2016 Fanti San Filippo - Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Le Lucere
This special selection of fruit from San Filippo is characterized by more intensity and concentration compared to the estate's classic Brunello. In this vintage, I also discovered a greater level of Sangiovese purity and direction, thanks to tight berry t...
2017 Fanti San Filippo - Brunello di Montalcino Le Lucere
Black cherry and berry aromas with some flowers, such as lavender, follow through to a full body with firm, racy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. The quality of the tannins is fantastic in this 2017. Drink after 2023.
2018 Felsina - Toscana Rosso IGT Fontalloro Super Tuscan
100% Sangiovese from Felsina's finest vineyards - one of Tuscany's flagship wines.
2019 Felsina - Chianti Classico Riserva
This has a perfumed nose of wild cherries, strawberries, sandalwood, peppercorns, cloves, rosemary and truffles. Elegant and refined, with firm, fine tannins. Long and deliciously wild, with savory spice notes.
2013 Fonterutoli - Toscana Rosso IGT Mix 36
The 2013 Mix 36, a blend of 36 Sangiovese biotypes on the property, is terrific. Bright, translucent and light on its feet, the 2013 speaks to finesse above all else. Expressive floral notes add lift, and the wine continues to open up in the glass. This b...
2019 Fontodi - Chianti Classico Riserva Vigna del Sorbo
The 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigna del Sorbo is a potent, virile wine endowed with tremendous depth and equally imposing tannins. A blast of dark fruit, herbs, chocolate, menthol and spice races out of the glass. Large-scaled tannins and hi...
2018 Fontodi - Toscana Rosso IGT Flaccianello Super Tuscan
The 2018 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stellar wine from Fontodi. It is the richest Flaccianello ever made (in terms of dry extract), with elevated acidity that trails the 2016 by just a touch, but it does not taste like that at all. Dark cherry, vi...
2019 Frescobaldi - Chianti Rufina Riserva Nipozzano
A fruity and bright Nipozzano with currant and cherry aromas and flavors. Juicy and vivid, with some fine tannins. Linear and bright. Lovely energy. Drink now.
2019 Fuligni - Brunello di Montalcino (PRE ARRIVAL)
With dark fruit balanced out by savory notes of tobacco leaf or cigar ash, the Fuligni 2019 Brunello di Montalcino is rich and beautifully concentrated. In little time, the bouquet reveals a floral interlude with dried rose petal and a tropical note of hi...
