Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of blackberry and plum, with some green herbs, sweet tobacco and spice, with a hint of leather. Medium bodied with vibrant acidity on the palate, medium tannins and some ripe blackberry fruit notes. Still lots of life left in this wine. Enjoy with a hearty, meaty bolognese.
Castorani Amorino 2013 is a full-bodied Montepulciano d'Abruzzo with dark cherry, wild mushroom flavours, spicy and savour4y on the palate. pair with braised beef cheeks in lentils. Raffaele Castorani originally founded this winery in 1793. This vintage was awarded 3 Glasses our of 3 by the 2018 Gambero Rosso Italian Wines Guide. - 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.

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.
