Reviews and Ratings

Borgo Scopeto 2015 is a well-priced, juicy Chianti Classico from the Tuscany D.O.C.G. Lots of bright red berry, earthy florals and savoury spice flavours on this medium-bodied red made from 90% Sangiovese, 5% each Colorino and Merlot wine grapes. Great acidity for food and Tannins are grippy and firm -- a good mid-term cellaring candidate for five to eight years. If pouring now, decant for two hours and pair with spaghetti and meat balls. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
