Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

If you are a Brunello lover or know somebody who shares that passion, pouring a glass of this beauty will make their day. It’s crafted from 100% Sangiovese Grosso grapes and aged three years in oak barrels, then undergoes a further bottle finishing of at least six months. This is a full-bodied, vibrant, mouth-filling wine to savour. You’ll find intense aromas of cherry, raspberry, Mediterranean herbs, vanilla and earthy hints. The flavours continue on the smooth, elegant palate and there’s a persistent, savoury finish. You’ll also taste the terroir that includes clay deposits dating back 15 million years (that’s the Eocene era for you trivia geeks). This Brunello is a great food wine, pairing well with roasts, wild game, rare t-bone steaks or simply served alone, when you can slowly enjoy every sip.

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.
