Pale salmon in color, Castello di Bossi Rosato bears resemblance to the rosé wines of southern France. On the nose, however, it immediately asserts its Italian heritage with aromas of dusty earth and Mediterranean herbs layed over fresh cherries and tart cranberry. On the palate the wine shows a defined structure with bright acidity and…

Monsanto’s 1982 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio is wine I could spend an entire day contemplating. The aromas and flavors meld together seamlessly as this powerful yet graceful wine flows from the glass. Vibrant red cherries, tobacco and spices come to life in a beautiful expression of the Il Poggio vineyard. This wine spent two…
The 1995 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggio is approaching its full maturity, and yet there is something about its profile that is so undeniably appealing. Dried rose petal, mint, orange peel, coffee and cedar lend exotic beauty to this fleshy, curvy Chianti Classico. I love the depth, balance and overall harmony. I would prefer to…
The Castello di Monsanto 2019 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Il Poggio (with the San Donato in Poggio location listed on the front label) offers a twofold approach with plenty of fresh cherry fruit and blueberry on the one hand, countered by light age and spice from balanced winemaking on the other. There are subtle…
The nose opens with vanilla and toasted coconut, then expands into mixed berries and potting soil, before the palate soars in full of berries, not without balance from continued earthiness, graphite and bitter cocoa.

The blackcurrant and vanilla character is coming through strongly here now, both on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Some bitterness at the end with the new wood. Give this time to come around. Better after 2022. Country: Italy Region: Tuscany Size: 750ml Color: Red Varietal Cabernet…
Packaged in a bulky glass bottle, the Castello di Monsanto 2018 Sangioveto Grosso Fabrizio Bianchi is all Sangiovese (although the synonym Sangioveto is used on the front label) from a 2.2-hectare plot named Vigna Scanni planted to vines in 1968. The site has schistose galestro soils that, in my opinion, render some of the most…
Made with 100% Sangiovese from a special 2.2-hectare plot called Vigna Scanni with compact shale galestro soils, the 2019 Sangioveto Grosso dai Vigneti di Monsanto Fabrizio Bianchi is a wine of robust fruit character and deep fruit layering. The idea with this wine is to hone in on the classic character of this varietal as…
Dark purple, almost black at the center, shading to a clear garnet edge. Impressions of fresh black cherries and a hint of dried cherry on the nose carry over intact in the flavor with palate-cleansing acidity and soft tannins, with an even-handed 12.5% alcohol. It’s clean, balanced and fits the Chianti style; on the simple…
Castello di Verrazzano’s The 2014 Chianti Classico is gorgeous. Beautifully perfumed and deep on the palate, with a classic, midweight sense of structure, the 2014 hits all the right notes. Succulent red cherry fruit, pipe tobacco, leather, smoke and cedar infuse this creamy, super-expressive Chianti Classico from Verrazzano. (Vinous) Country: Italy Region: Tuscany Appellation: Chianti…
The Castello Romitorio 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is a classic expression of the vintage, showing lots of ripe fruit, crushed mineral, herbal nuances and varietal-driven purity. This wine nails that sweet spot between elegance and power that is not easily achieved. It offers an expanded array of Sangiovese flavors with wild cherry, forest floor, crushed…
The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (with 6,300 bottles made) works beautifully to produce a lasting sense of harmony that reflects the best qualities of this classic vintage. Part of that playlist is power, and indeed this wine registers 15% alcohol, which is high, but the freshness of these vineyard sites and the wine’s acidity…
Though perhaps not as intense or showy as some 2019 riservas, this red is harmonious and elegant. Cherry, strawberry, earth, wild herb and flinty, mineral flavors hold court as this evolves across the palate, leaving earth, iron and savory accents on the lingering finish. Decant now, or wait a few more years. Best from 2027…
The complexity and beauty to this is really something with cherry, walnut, tobacco and cigar-box character. Sweet cherries. It’s full-bodied and deep with super intensity and power. Layered and beautiful. Really refined tannins. Some whole-berry fermentation gives this added character. Goes on for minutes. Try after 2025. (#2 Italian Wine of the Year, 2020) Country:…
Starts out rich, with a touch of glycerol in the texture, before civilized tannins take over on the finish.
