Altesino
Varietal: Sangiovese
Vintage: 2013
Country of Origin: Italy
Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino
Retail Price: $65.00

Tasting Notes: A wine that can exceed your expectations. The 2013 took a few minutes to open up, but when it did, it was singing. The aromatics of earth, tobacco and leather were met on the palate with rustic notes of fruit and tannin. I was actually sad when I realized the bottle was empty.

Fattoria le Pupille Sangiovese 2016

94
Fattoria le Pupille
Varietal: Sangiovese
Vintage: 2016
Country of Origin: Italy
Appellation: Morellino di Scansano
Retail Price: $24.99

Tasting Notes: Finding Morellino can often be tough in some markets, but I sure am glad I found this one. The blend is 90% sangiovese rounded out with 10% cabernet. I’m not sure what cabernet is bringing to the party here, other than to prop the wine up a bit, but the sangio is doing all the lovely work. Exotic aromas of red flowers and rustic red fruits abound from this lovely wine. Subtle mushroom and sweet damp earth also give way to an even-more-enticing taste. The depth of the palate on this wine is broad and silky, with tart-yet-sweet cherry and plum. What a winner on many fronts.
