TASTING NOTES

Italy is a wonderful patchwork quilt of a country with incredible regionality and local traditions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the rich profusion of indigenous grape varieties that grace the slopes and plains of many of Italy's wine-producing regions. While wine production dates back centuries, it wasn't until relatively recently that a wave of producers set new benchmarks for fine Italian Wines. Whether you like a more modernist or traditionalist approach, international or indigenous varieties, the Italian wine scene has never been more exciting.

This is a very great vintage of Sassicaia. The wine has the elegance and finesse which is the hallmark of Sassicaia, but allied to more richness and intensity than has customarily been the case. It has nice, fleshy fruit with a good clean structure. It is longlasting on the palate and will become recognized as one of the great vintages...

Shows aromas of leather, smoked ham, prune, tarry mineral and dried fl owers. Anamazing panoply for a 2002, which was a weak vintage. Full-bodied, with velvetytannins and a long, intense, peppery fi nish. Given the diffi culties of the vintage, thisis a fi ne effort by Dal Forno. Drink now through 2016. 910 cases made. 92 points, Wine Spectator.

An impressively dark hue, Masseto 2009 mirrors its vintage, exhibiting intense impressions of ripe cherry, chocolate, spice, and coffee. Profound and full-volumed in the mouth, it boasts explosive fruit, and tannins which are glossy and firm. Its vein of crisp acidity fuels a long finish marked by a vivacious crispness.

The 2007 is an incredibly refined and harmonious wine. The aromas are multi-layered and enveloping with notes of sweet ripe red berries, cassis and dried summer fruits intermingled with herbs and balsamic notes. Magnificent, complex flavours with ripe,sweet fruits and a mineral character on the finish are supported by structured but very fine tannins. Although a powerful wine, the overall...

Wow, there is a very impressive freshness here that defies the heat of this vintage. The 2017 Saffredi does not seem like a 2017 at all. Now celebrating its 30th birthday, Saffredi is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot. Thanks to the vineyard's proximity to the sea, leaving leaves on the vines and the sharp diurnal shifts...
