Aldo Conterno Langhe Nebbiolo 2013
Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino 2012
“A fine Rosso, with cherry, floral, tobacco and spice flavors imparting harmony and grace. The lively acidity and refined tannins frame the flavors. Lingering finish.” - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Oct 2014)
“The 2012 Rosso di Montalcino bursts from the glass with sweet red cherries, raspberries and pomegranate. Rich, layered and intense to the core, the 2012 captures the essence of a year in which both dry extracts and acidities are high. Readers looking for value, will adore the Rosso, a wine that also happens to be one my personal favorites. The 2012 is another fabulous edition for this perennial overachiever. Even though the 2012 is delicious right now, I would be tempted to give it further time in bottle.” - Antonio Galloni, Vinous, 91+/100 (Feb 2014)
Masi Campofiorin 2012
“Lightly chewy, this easy-drinking red features wild strawberry, dried herb, orange peel and spice notes.” - Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator (Apr 2016)
