MIXED CASE : TUSCAN REDS 13
Each case contains three bottles of the following wines:
Le Ragnaie Troncone Rosso 2022, IGT Toscana Rosso. $32
Montalcino has an altitude limit in Brunello; it's not allowed to grow above 600m. This organically farmed Sangiovese is grown from 620-655m altitude, hence it fell into the declassification of IGT Chianti Colli Senesi. In 2014, the wine was too pale and wasn't even approved for that, so Riccardo Campinoti said BASTA and labelled the wines IGT Toscana Rosso. Ragnaie is the name of the vineyard, Etruscan for spiderweb, and reflecting the label and the netting that Etruscans would use to catch small birds. This 14 year old organically farmed sangiovese was native fermented and on skins for 2 weeks in concrete, before one year in older Slavonian oak casks. Alluring from first whiff, with salted cherry, fragrant raspberry, worked leather and dried scrubby herbs stretching across a lifted palate, framed with firm, fine tannins, and buoyed by effortless lofty acidity, finishing with a flush of peppery spice. There's such a lovely ease and grace to this medium bodied youthful wine. Enjoy liberally.
Donatella Cinelli Colombini Leone Rosso 2021, DOC Orcia. $33
DOC Orcia is produced in 13 municipalities between Brunello di Montalcino and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. This is 60/40 Sangiovese/Merlot from the historic estate, built by Donatella Cinelli Colombini's ancestors in 1592 (reflected by the red lion on the label). This younger vine red spends 6 months in medium / large oak. Juicy and succulent ripe red fruit is scented with balsam, and hugged by sticky tannins, finishing with a warm flush and kiss of bitter dark chocolate. A warming red well suited to autumnal braises or ragu.
Selvapiana Chianti Rufina 2022, DOCG Chianti Rufina. $31
Rufina is the smallest appellation in Chianti, extending across 750 hectares. This is 95% Sangiovese, joined with tips of Canaiolo, Colorino, and Malvasia Nera from well-drained, dry and stony north and north-west facing vineyards. These 15-40 year old vines grow in medium density clay and limestone at 200-300m. Fermentation and maceration occurs in stainless over 25 days with native yeast, before aging 75% in cement, 10% in foudre, and 15% in stainless. Bright and lifted cherry, ripe raspberry is kissed with wild orange, and dosed liberally with flake salts. Tannins are fine and sticky, hugging this medium red to a gently spiced finish. A subtle and pretty Rufina, ready to enjoy now with fragrant mushroom dishes.
Podere 414 Morellino di Scanscano 2022, DOCG Morellino di Scanscano. $35
Owned by Simone Castelli, Podere 414 is a certified organic estate with 13 hectares of vines, situated in western Tuscany, straddling a river near Scansano. From the region's very stony soils, this Morellino (Sangiovese) is splashed with Colorino, Ciliegiolo, Alicante, and Syrah. Each variety is vinified separately before the blend goes into two year old barriques for one year, followed by additional bottle age before release. Sultry wild cherry and dark florals are imbued with balsam and scrubby herbs, wrapped by finely sticky tannins that draw this through the stony, lingering finish. Bright acidity makes this imminently drinkable, through it is certainly worth cellaring for the next couple of years.
Price:
12 bottles for $428 + HST, including delivery in GTA, and most larger cities in Ontario.
*prices outside of main cities may incur additional delivery charges.
Estimated delivery time is 3-10 business days.
