Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalySangiovese Rosso 10-50 years old is fermented in stainless on the skins for 2-3 weeks before going to cement vats for MLF, after which it spends a minimum two years in oak casks. Supple worn leather, dried red and black plum, red currant rides along a raft of finely sueded tannins, finishing in a wee gully of heat (14.5 percent declared) and with drying tannins. Drink now, preferably with squid ink or wild mushroom risotto.Tasted: 13 October 2016Tasted by: Prices:

Montalcino, Siena, Tuscany, ItalyArgiano, like many Brunello producers, selects its best sangiovese fruit, usually from its best sites. It spends year one in French barriques and another eighteen months in larger Slovenian oak casks (botti). The wine is aged on the whole for four years including six months in bottle. The nose has an inviting quality, mixing red fruits, cedar with a hint of clove. The palate is soft yet dense, with more ripe cherry/plum fruit and bits of mineral and floral notes. Harmonious, succulent and delicious. Advanced, and more near term drinking ahead, but hey, will take it. This was the perfect foil to grilled cumin chicken.Tasted: 29 September 2016Tasted by: Prices:
