Jeroboam | 5 Liter

Dieser granatrot funkelnde Vino Nobile begeistert uns wohlriechend nach Trockenpflaume und einem Hauch von Zimt und Gewürznelke. Am Gaumen viel präsente Frucht, feiner, süßer Schmelz im langen Nachhall. Ein authentischer und angenehm eleganter Bio-Wein aus dem Herzen des Montepulciano-Gebietes. SUPERIORE.DE

"The organic 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano offers a delicate embroidery of red fruit, pressed violet and potting soil. There are subtle highlights of dried orange peel and iron ore as well. This pretty wine prizes fruit purity and simplicity. It offers a naked interpretation of this noble appellation without distractions or too many bells or whistles. The wine is light and streamlined on the palate, but there is enough tannic power to carry it over a meal of pici pasta and rabbit ragù." Robert Parker

"Plum and black cherry flavors are framed by sweet, wood smoke and spice in this supple red. It's firm, with refined and well-integrated tannins and a lingering aftertaste of fruit, earth and spice." Wine Spectator

"Salcheto checks a lot of boxes. The winery is powered by renewable energy, water waste is 100% recycled, there are no added sulphites during vinification and the entire production is certified organic and packaged in light weight bottles. Above all, the Nobile tastes delicious. It is clean and immediately appealing offering complex cedar, earth, tea and balsamic nuances atop forest fruit. Full-bodied and full of character, it is rich yet fresh and seductively textured with polished tannins. A great success for this challenging vintage." Decanter

"Made with organically grown Sangiovese and adhering to certified sustainable practices, this delicious, fragrant red offers enticing scents of dark spice, new leather, wild berry and eucalyptus oil. The elegantly structured palate boasts wonderful fruit and spice, showcasing juicy Marasca cherry, raspberry compote and cinnamon while a licorice note lingers on the close. Silky tannins and fresh acidity keep it nicely balanced." Wine Enthusiast

Unverfälschter Ausdruck von Sangiovese, Terroir und der typische Riecine-Stil, der vor allem auf Eleganz gründet. Tiefe, funkelnde Farbe, komplexer, animierender Duft nach kleinen roten Beeren und entsprechende Persistenz im Geschmack. Ein beeindruckender Wein mit der Finesse eines großen Sangiovese. SUPERIORE.DE

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit feinem Granatschimmer. Ansprechende Nase mit Noten nach Granatapfel, Kirsche und würzigem Thymian. Rund und geschliffen im Ansatz, zeigt sehr gut herausgearbeitete Frucht, präsent und zugleich zart, öffnet sich dann mit viel griffigem Tannin." Falstaff

"A pure expression of Sangiovese, the 2016 La Gioia is a beauty. Off the bat, the wine shows a specific mineral note that reminds me of black stone or dusty granite. Beyond that, you get a thick and dense layer of black fruit and plum. The wine is never heavy or flat, instead it shows a lot of energy and freshness with a point of spiciness on the close. That energy is typical of Gaiole in Chianti. This is a medium-to-full bodied Sangiovese with all its various moving parts in harmony, ready for a Tuscan bean and tomato stew with fresh bread and healthy wedges of pecorino." Robert Parker

"This is a powerful red with beautiful ripe tannins and freshness. Full and linear. Opens in the mouth. A pure sangiovese. Yeah!" James Suckling

Montosoli-Liebhaber werden vom Archetyp des Jahrgangs 2016 alles andere als enttäuscht sein. Diese besondere Einzellage zeigt in diesem Ausnahmejahr ein wunderschön duftendes und blumiges Bouquet, das genau den Erwartungen der Kennerschaft entspricht. So stellt diese Ausgabe für uns wie kaum eine zweite die ideale Interpretation von Rebsorte und Terroir dar. Die Sangiovese-Traube klingt hier hell und vernehmlich aus dem Glas - mit Nuancen kleiner Beeren und floralen Eindrücken von Rose, Veilchen und Lavendel. Im Trunk wird seine Komplexität und Vielschichtigkeit durch subtile Noten von Anis, Cola und Lakritzstäbchen abgerundet. Dieser schon heute begeisternde Fabelwein ist dabei stets ausgleichend weich und seidig und wird - auch wenn man es kaum noch für möglich hält - nach einigen weiteren Jahren der Lagerung noch an Raffinesse und Ausdruck zulegen! SUPERIORE.DE

"Verführerischer himbeerduftiger Wein mit Saft und Schliff; am Gaumen kernig, die Säure gut eingebunden, engmaschige und doch spürbare Tannine, gefällt mit seinem Schliff, demonstriert Finesse bis ins Finale.Zu einem herzhaften Bistecca." Vinum

"Lustrous ruby. Concentrated cherry nose with an earthy, minerally note and a hint of gingerbread. With aeration more and more minerally. Tangy gentle fruit with the merest suggestion of oak. Gorgeous chewy tannins. Very suave, supple and elegant." Jancis Robinson

"Altesino has been producing a separate bottling from the cru of Montosoli since 1975, though the vines were partially replanted in 2005 and 2016. If Altesino’s estate Brunello is almost accessible already, the polished yet intense Montosoli needs time in the cellar to demonstrate its potential. The nose is discreet with violet, bramble and bay leaf taking on earthy, savoury tones as it sits in the glass. Tight and firmly fastened, the palate fuses stony notes of granite with dark cherry. Ageing is in 30hL casks of Slavonian oak." Decanter

"The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli pulls you close to the glass with a captivating display of candied citrus rinds, incense and dried roses giving way to rich cherry sauce and a hint of brown spice. It’s deeply textural yet youthfully dense, as it first cools the palate with lavender and ripe dark red fruits; yet beneath is a layer of grippy tannins that close the wine down. Notes of licorice, black tea and purple florals linger on the youthfully chewy finale. The 2016 is just a baby today, and it will need a number of years to come fully into focus - but it will be worth the wait." Vinous

"The Altesino 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli is a true beauty. The wine reveals dark fruit intensity that comes forth as blackberry, plum and summer cherry. In no time, those aromas shift to the savory side of the spectrum with smoke, tar and tobacco. The results are generous and layered, offering the best of what the celebrated Montosoli cru can offer, especially in an ironic vintage such as this." Robert Parker

"Lovely sweet cherries and heather with some leather and balsamic undertones. It’s full-bodied with a velvety and lightly dusty palate. Juicy fruit and pretty orange peel to the berry character. Hints of cedar and meat at the end. Subtle and complex." James Suckling

"Rose, forest berry, underbrush and new leather are some of the aromas you'll find on this full-bodied red. From one of Montalcino's greatest vineyard sites, the firmly structured, elegant palate is also delicious, boasting ripe black cherry, raspberry compote, tobacco and licorice set against taut, fine-grained tannins. It's well balanced, with bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Packed with sweet, ripe cherry, plum and raspberry fruit and framed by loamy earth and woodsy notes, this red is intense, lively and light on its feet. Balanced, with firm tannins and a salty, minerally impression on the lingering aftertaste." Wine Spectator

Piccolominis Einzellagen-Brunello Vigna di Pianrosso 2017 stammt von einer ca. 300 m hoch gelegenen Südwest-Lage der Subzone Castelnuovo dell'Abate. Er ist von Anfang an wunderschön und zart und beeindruckt spontan durch seine Vitalität, Tiefe und Ausgewogenheit. Im Vergleich zum Basis-Brunello reift der Wein ein weiteres Jahr im Eichenfass und man spürt die zusätzliche Würze in der Nase. Auf reiche Gewürze, Leder und Teer folgen dunkle Früchte, Pflaume, Brombeere und Cassis. Der Abgang ist anmutig und seidig, seine Länge ist beeindruckend. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aufhellendes, funkelndes Granatrot. Eröffnet mit betont duftigen Noten, nach frischen dunklen Kirschen, etwas Hagebutte, feine Rosenblätter, erstaunlich frische Noten. Rund und geschmeidig im Ansatz, öffnet sich mit schön gereiften Fruchtnoten, griffiges Tannin, sehr gut platziert." Falstaff

"A nuanced, delicate bouquet of dried strawberries, roses, hints of sweet spice and crushed rocks lifts up from the charming 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso. This is remarkably lifted, yet juicy and energetic, as ripe red berries and minerals cascade across the palate. It leaves a coating of violet-tinged florals, along with persistent raspberry and cherry tones. The tannin management here is absolutely stunning, as the Pianrosso finishes structured yet vividly fresh." Vinous

"This is a beautifully crafted and polished Brunello for this vintage, with full body and creamy, lightly chewy tannins. Dark berries, walnuts and cedar with dried-flower undertones. Needs time to soften, but very pretty. Drink after 2024." James Suckling

"The Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona 2017 Brunello di Montalcino Pianrosso shows nice balance and elegance, and it definitely shows the deft hand of the winemaking team in what was not an easy vintage by any stretch. This pretty wine delivers lots of fresh cherry and wild rose, with ferrous earthy, licorice and grilled herb; I also get bay leaf and rosemary sprig. Like the annata 2017 Brunello produced by this estate, the single-vineyard Brunello Pianrosso is distinguished by a sweet cherry note that accompanies the wine from start to finish." Robert Parker
