Armilla Brunello di Montalcino 2017
Dark black cherry color indicating the ripeness of the vintage. Nose is expressive and big with cherry and notes of licorice and dates. Smooth with a great mouth feel and more ripe cherry, toast and mineral on the palate. The finish sticks to the teeth and is long. The balance of the fruit, alcohol, oak and acidity work perfectly together to form a finish that easily lasts 45 seconds. The tannins are ripe, but firm.

Colognole Chianti Rufina 2017
Colognole is based in the small Chianti Rufina region, which accounts for just 3% of total Chianti production (and 40% of this is produced by the Frescobaldi family). Rufina is known for possessing the highest elevation vineyards in Chianti which explains why it is slightly cooler than Classico. The wines are also known to be very age-worthy.

Colognole Riserva Del Don Chianti Rufina 2016
Red berry fruit along with floral rose character, pungent balsam and well delineated black pepper. Maturation in oak has mellowed the exuberance of the tannins, but they are still impressive and serve to extend the progression on the palate. Further bottle aging will serve to bring out the fine qualities of the vintage.

Montepeloso A Quo 2020
The wines of Proprietor Fabio Chiarelloto are some of the highly prized coming out of Tuscany today. The A Quo is his baby and if you like Tuscany best I also highly recommend seeking out his Eneo and his Nardo, both get huge scores by Parker but at a higher price point. This red is one of the great buys coming out of Tuscany today, I strongly recommend while we have availability.

Montepeloso Alpha 2020
Alpha is a Rosso di Toscana produced from younger vines between 8 and 20 years of age. It isn’t a Supertuscan, but perhaps should be viewed as a baby- or mini-Supertuscan. It is Fabio Chiarelotto’s newest creation, and once again goes in a direction very much un-like many other Rosso di Toscana wines from the Etruscan Coast.

Montepeloso Gabbro 2014

It represents an ambition to produce a Cabernet Sauvignon that can hold its own with the best in the world. This wine is matured for 18 months in 80% new wood, with some 400-litre barrels as well as barriques. The wine is subsequently stored in the bottle, usually for about nine months. Annual production is 3000 bottles on average.

Sinopie Chianti Superiore DOCG 2019
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.

Tenimenti Ricci Ricciolo Toscana IGT 2020

Tenuta Ponte alle Ruote Chianti Colli Senesi 2019
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.
