2007  

This is drinking wonderfully now with so much depth of fruit and lots of juicy character. Full body, layered and intense. Plenty of dark berry and chocolate. Fantastic. Drink or hold. - 96 points James Suckling -- "This wine is released ten years after the harvest, giving consumers the opportunity to buy an older vintage of Barolo that has been stored carefully back at the winery. Older-release wines like this are becoming ever more popular in the Langhe. The 2007 Barolo Riserva Vignarionda is a powerful and exuberant expression that shows the density and the inner energy of Serralunga d'Alba. Blackberry and dark cherry lift from the bouquet to reveal pretty undertones of spice, leather and savory tobacco. Only 2,763 750-milliliter bottles, 200 magnums and 20 jeroboams were produced. This wine offers a very special taste of Nebbiolo." - 95 points Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate -- "After 10 years, this is ready to enjoy. However, despite the sweet cherry fruit, leather, woodsy and mineral flavors, there are still dense tannins. This is moving in the right direction, mellowing gracefully and lingering with a long, fresh, tobacco- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2020 through 2034. 150 cases made, 100 cases imported." - 95 points Bruce Sanderson, The Wine Spectator

2015  Toscana Sangiovese Dinostro

Toscana Sangiovese Dinostro -- This is an exciting new Bolgheri project whose aim is to tell the story of the Maramma region of Tuscany through the rediscovery of indigenous varietals. Unlike the standard bearer of Bolgheri, Sassicaia, which is based on a Cabernet blend, Castellaccio is successfully experimenting with ancient relics such as Foglia Tonda and Pugnitello.

The Poggio Nardone estate shares a border with Mocali estate in the region of Tavernelle of Montalcino. Here, the compact soil produces dense, long-lived reds that can be shy in their youth, but are well worth cellaring. The Rosso di Montalcino comes from 1 hectare of vines at 400 meters above sea level. Only 500 cases are produced annually. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentation occur in temperature-controlled stainless steel, and aging is done in large oak casks of 20 to 40 hectoliters for 10 months.

"Plum, mint and menthol aromas are the main themes, along with tar, licorice, leather and wild herb notes. Though the fruit is buried, there is sweetness midpalate, finishing on the dry side. A bit austere, but long, finding good equilibrium. Best from 2023 through 2039. 1,100 cases made." - 93pts WS
