Icario Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2015
Under new ownership, the 2015 has been completely transformed, relative to earlier vintages. Famed enologist, Franco Bernabei has decided to cut yields in half, employ new barrique in the wine’s maturation, and determined that the Sangiovese should represent 90% of the blend, rather than 80% as in earlier versions of this wine.

Sinopie Chianti Superiore DOCG 2018
Sinopie refers to the guide lines that artists drew on the walls in preparation to paint large fresco’s. Our own guide lines for making Sinopie Chianti are the crispness of its fruit, the vibrancy of acidity and its genius for pairing with foods. Such is the Sangiovese in the style of Classic Chianti.

Tenuta Ponte alle Ruote Chianti Colli Senesi 2018
In the shadow of the famous Towers of San Gimignano, Tuscan estate Le Rote makes a wonderfully charismatic Chianti Colli Senesi from 100% Sangiovese. It has rich, chewy dark fruit, ripe tannins, yet finishes very dry and clean. Remarkably, this wine was aged a full 1.5 years before release, a very rare and determined decision for a non-riserva Chianti — and the results show in the bottle. Smooth, black-cherry and sweet tobacco linger on a faint, pleasant finish that is touched off by just the right hint of oak. Lovely.
