Intense aromas of dark cherries, oak bark, black truffles and violets. It’s full-bodied and chewy with firm, silky tannins and beautiful length and focus. Dark-chocolate and forest-floor flavors with just a hint of toasted oak and smoke. Really attractive. Try after 2022, but already a beauty. ... More details

An oaky style, this red evokes resin, vanilla, cherry, currant and earth flavors, riding on a base of dense, dusty tannins. There is an element of bright fruit, freshness and fine complexity, but the new oak elements need to be resolved. Best from 2024 through 2043. 550 cases made, 120 cases imported.

The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Il Quercione seduces with a wonderfully vibrant and fruity expression. Sweet spice mixes with ripe cherry and strawberry, complemented by nuances of cinnamon, cloves and red florals. It’s a silky expression of Sangiovese with a juicy, high-energy and almost-autumnal personality. You don’t even notice the mounting tannins, which are slowly clenching down on the experience with each sip, until the very end. The single-vineyard Il Quercione spent twenty-four months in 500-liter tonneaux, yet it speaks of purity above all else. That said, even with its Riserva status, I don’t see this as a wine to lose in the cellar. It should be hitting its stride in just a few years’ time.
Winery
Very deep ruby; releases remarkably emphatic fragrances of ripe berry fruit, spice, cocoa power, and tanned leather. Very full in the mouth, lean in character but with warm alcohol and ripe, juice tannins.

Varietal: Sangiovese

Wines made with the round, darkly colored Sangiovese grape varietal tend to demonstrate the grape's key attributes: high acidity, moderate tannins and pale red color These grapes have been grown in their native Italy for thousands of years, and are said to be one of the key varietals which were so loved by the ancient Etruscan and Roman civilization Fast forward a few millennia, and all over the world, wineries are still growing these grapes in order to capture that renowned and flavorful essence. What makes Sangiovese so loved by drinkers and vintners alike is its wonderful ability to soak up the earthy, woody flavors of the oak barrels they are aged in, and present these in the glass alongside fresh, bright summer fruit notes. Whilst Sangiovese grapes are often blended during the fermentation process, they are also drank as single variety wines, both young and fresh, and aged and complex.

Region: Tuscany

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
