Fèlsina Fontalloro Toscana IGT 2020 James Suckling 04/08/2023 95
Verbiage

Very refined and complex nose with a hint of pine cones, botanicals and dark mushrooms to the zesty oranges, mineral, fine musk and plums. Juicy, dry but textured on the palate with stacks of dusty tannins growing on the savory, full-bodied palate. Long and quite mineral in the finish. Better from 2025.

Arillo in Terrabianca Chianti Classico Riserva “Poggio Croce” DOCG 2019 Wine Enthusiast 31/07/2023 91

Hibiscus and Bing cherries give way to freshly brewed coffee before some final aromas of mushrooms and soil on the nose. The palate is both meaty and fruity, with final notes of dark chocolate and more coffee grounds balanced by tannins that cling and vibrant acidity.

A nose deeply perfumed with sweet aromas of cherry blossoms, rose petals and candied orange and then savory notes of wild oregano, balsamic vinegar and leather rolls onto a palate of cherries and strawberries with grainy tannins that emphasize later flavors of coffee grounds and freshly turned soil.
