Antonio Camillo Principio Cilegiolo 2017

Ciliegiolo is an ancient relative of Sangiovese and has been grown in Tuscany's Maremma for centuries.

Principio is made from organically grown, forty year old Ciliegiolo vines at over 1000m altitude. Bright ruby in colour, yet very pale in intensity, this shows fresh, bright red cherry, raspberry and blueberry, fruit with violet top notes. Ripe (ripeness is rarely an issue in the Maremma), but dry and light-to-medium-bodied with zesty acids and minerality and firm tannins on the finish. This is … more

Conti Costanti Brunello Di Montalcino 2012 Magnum

Felsina Fontalloro Tuscany IGT 2013

This is Fèlsina’s original SuperTuscan, first made in 1983 from 100% Sangiovese.

The border that defines Chianti Classico and Colli Senesi runs through the Fèlsina's estate and Fontalloro is sourced from both of these areas. As such, it is labelled IGT.

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2015

Note: This pure expression of Sangiovese sees 2 years in neutral wood and bottle before release.

In any vintage, Fontodi Chianti Classico is smashing wine, but in 2015 it is outstanding (maybe the best we have seen). Firm yet well-integrated tannins provide the backdrop for expressive red cherries, licorice, tobacco and spices. In 2015 this Chianti Classico includes grapes usually designated for Flaccianello, making it perform like a "baby Flaccianello". Sangiovese grapes ferment for two weeks with natural yeasts in … more
