Reviews and Ratings

Ricasoli Brolio 2017 Chianti Classico is a well-priced Chianti from the Tuscany wine region. Fragrant on the nose with ripe dark berry, cherry and spice; robust and layered with blackberry, strawberry, dark cherry, savoury herb, baking spices finishing long and spicy with food-friendly acidity. Pour with a meat-lover's pizza. - 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.
