I'm a boss... like my hat says. Orange blossoms, strawberries, floral notes, honey, and Haribo pineapple gummy bears on the nose. Small berries on the palate - some cranberries and orange rind on the palate.
Valdicava
Rosso di Montalcino
Tuscany, Italy
2020
100% Sangiovese
First up is this low intervention sustainably farmed Rosso di Montalcino. Named after the valley in which the grapes are grown, Valdicava is situated in the coldest part of Brunello.
Aged in old oak, this results in soft tannins and a silky mouthfeel. Grippy at first, this softens into a long finish.
OMG this is wine. Unlearn everything you’ve thought about Chianti and all the gold horrible Riserva stuff and come over to pure IGT Toscano Sangiovese. A nose crazy tertiary here at 7, fruit a non-stop course of cherry and blackberry along lines of acid and leather rather un-describable.
The pure pith of raunchy black cherry opens the entry, dusty velvet an unimaginable soliloquy of grandeur…

Blackberries and violet galore, with a spicy, peppery lift. No barnyard. Fresh and succulent, at times pulpy. Slightly hollow midpalate redeemed by surreptitious tannins which lend an austere, albeit welcomed finishing touch. A perky, no-frills sangiovese from coastal Maremma for your easy-drinking needs, like when you let your hair down. Or put your feet up.

🇮🇹 🍷 It's Saturday night & I'm enjoying lovely 2021 Tenuta Luce La Vite Lucente (91 pts, $33) from Tuscany tonight. Merlot and Sangiovese blend. Arrived in LCBO VINTAGES today! Full review: https://rebrand.ly/lpt455l
From high elevation, steeply sloping vineyards in the heart of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany, Frescobaldi crafts Sangiovese-based red wines at Tenuta Perano. The sustainable estate’s terroir-driven wines are elegant and expressive, telling the story of the land.
Tenuta Perano Chianti Classico shines as an example of this, with an inky purple color and fruit-forward flavor. The wine opens…
