Brunello di Montalcino Cielo D'Ulisse Podere Le Ripi 2015

Cielo d'Ulisse - an amazing Brunello, & can certainly be considered among the great Tuscan wines that are produced, based on biodynamic agriculture. It displays spectacular, intensely red garnet color. Aromas are characteristic of Sangiovese Grosso grape, with hints of blackberries, raspberries & plums, accompanied by notes of undergrowth & balsamic bursts. Aging in large oak barrels brings out delicate notes of vanilla. Fresh in the mouth, with vibrant tannins. The sip is rich & fruity, structure is powerful & determined, all supported by an acidity that gives a unique balance. An absolute jewel!

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Montemercurio Messagero 2016

Montepulciano has always been one of the most important & scenic wine areas in Tuscany, together with Montalcino & Chianti. Its enduring blends are deeply rooted in history. In the glass, color is an intense red ruby. Aromas consist of typical ripe berries & plum, followed by hints of vanilla & light licorice, cloves & black pepper. In the mouth it is round, smooth, ideal tannins, not too dry or too sour with long finish. Absolutely easy to drink, both clean & crisp. Il Messaggero is most certainly a champion of balance. A wine well done, very versatile in food pairing. Of course it goes well with red meat & game, but also a lovely dish of pasta with an important meat sauce can stand up to this elegant wine without being overpowered.

Conti Capponi - one of the most historic wineries in the Chianti region. This noble family has origins dating to the 15th century, with a history linked to wine & this territory. Color is a magnificent ruby red with garnet reflections. Nose is a sequence of aromas - from ripe plum & blackcurrant to wildflowers. Aging in oak compliments them with hints of delicate, warm spices. It is soft & balanced, fragrant & fresh. The tannins are thick, fine & graceful. A bottle that distinguishes itself for elegance & finesse.

Bolgheri Ruit Hora Caccia Al Piano 2017

Located along Tuscan Coast, Caccia al Piano belongs to the Berlucchi family. This wine displays intense ruby-red color in the glass. Nose is rich & full, hints of dark berries & aromatic herbs. Interesting hints of spice combine with woody & toasted notes. The sip is rich & mature. The tannins are not aggressive - perfectly integrated with the wine's acidity. The medium structure has a long persistence, well supported by aromatic complexity.
