San Giusto a Rentennano

Dunkles Lachrosé. Kräftige Beerennase, am Gaumen frisch, mit schöner Sangiovese-Frucht und dem unverkennbaren Charakter des Ausnahme-Weinguts. Ein Rosato, der nach purer Toskana schmeckt und ein hervorragender Begleiter mediterraner Speisen ist. SUPERIORE.DE

"San Giusto a Rentennano's 2019 Rosato Fuori Misura is a real wine. Bright and beautifully layered in the glass, the Fuori Misura will appeal to readers who want a serious wine for the dinner table. The blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo and Merlot works so well here. Cedar, crushed leaves, mint and orange peel add layers of complexity to the red berry fruit." Vinous

Vielschichtig im Duft, viel dunkle Kirschfrucht, zarte Kräuterwürze und Zederaromen. Auch am Gaumen saftige dunkle Wildkirschen, reifes, perfekt integriertes Tannin, elegant und feingliedrig, feine mineralische Würze, erstaunlich vollmundig und animierend. SUPERIORE.DE

"Mid crimson. Raspberry fruit nose with real concentration and with minerally notes. Concentrated raspberry fruit. Expressive, long and with a fantastic layer of polished tannins." Jancis Robinson

"The 2018 Chianti Classico is bright, floral and incredibly refined. Bright red cherry, red plum, mint, cedar, tobacco, game licorice and rose petal all grace this very pretty, mid-weight Chianti Classico. I would cellar the 2018 for at least a few years, as it needs time to come together. Bright acids will help it age gracefully." Vinous

"The 2018 Chianti Classico is a textbook expression from the appellation. This Sangiovese-based wine shows latitude and depth with elegant aromas of wild berry, forest floor, dried blueberry, honey, lavender and rosemary essence. There are hints of chalk or crushed limestone that recall the unique soils of the Gaiole in Chianti growing region. The tannins are elegantly integrated, and the wine offers enough natural freshness to pair with a hearty pappardelle al sugo di cinghiale." Robert Parker

Le Baròncole Riserva besticht schon im Duft durch saftige Frucht und setzt diesen schönen Eindruck am Gaumen fort. Kirsche, Weichseln, Brombeere, sehr saftig und kraftvoll im Auftritt, füllt den Gaumen völlig aus, bleibt dabei aber immer lebendig und elegant. Seidige Tannine und ein langer Nachhall machen Lust auf das nächste Glas. Gutes Reifepotential. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep, lustrous ruby. Deep spicy, meaty nose that is still a little closed on the fruit. With aeration, quite pure cherry fruit. Bags of sour cherry and a big layer of sandpapery tannins, but manages to maintain an elegant palate weight throughout. Quite a baroque wine." Jancis Robinson

"The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is surprisingly closed. That's actually a good thing for the future, but readers need to be prepared to cellar the 2017 for at least a few years. Today, the tannins are quite prominent. Sweet red berry, chalk, white pepper and mint give the 2017 quite a bit of freshness." Vinous

"The 2017 Chianti Classico Riserva Le Baròncole is a beautiful wine that delivers elegance and grace despite the difficult conditions of the growing season that saw drought and hot summer temperatures. The wine shows depth and concentration with black fruit, crushed flowers, charred meat and potting soil. There is some phenolic bitterness here (probably due to the lack of moisture in the soils); however, the late-ripening Sangiovese grape performs nicely overall, thanks to those last few cooler weeks on the vine before harvest. That final phase of ripening has helped to solidify the wine's aromatic intensity. Luca Martini di Cigala has carefully crafted an impressive wine in this vintage." Robert Parker

Gerade mal 2.024 Flaschen, die es in sich haben: Der vielleicht beste Süsswein Italiens darf nicht "Vin Santo" genannt werden, weil er durch seine hohe Konzentration keine 12% Alkohol erreicht.

Das ist aber auch völlig uninteressant, denn diese aromatisch-würzigen Waldhonig-Noten, diese süsse Frucht, die von einer feinen Säure balanciert wird, und diese wunderbare Würze, die diesen Wein auszeichnen, brauchen keine amtliche Vorschrift. Das schmeckt einfach köstlich. Am besten zu kräftigen Käsen, zu Desserts - oder man nimmt einfach ein Glas davon "solo" als Nachspeise. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2011 Vin San Giusto is somehow remarkably light on its feet for a rich, textured Vin Santo that packs a whopping 410 grams of residual sugar. Ginger, orange peel, spice, dried cherry and tobacco overtones give the Vin San Giusto striking aromatic intensity and nuance. Silky, plush and full of character, the 2011 is a compelling sweet wine to drink over the next 10-15 years." Vinous

"Wine is elevated to art when we consider the various Vin Santos made throughout Tuscany. This is most apparent in the stunning San Giusto a Rentennano 2012 Vin San Giusto, which opens to a dark amber color with polished copper highlights. The bouquet produces a never-ending stream of dried apricot, honey, prune, rum cake, button mushroom and brown sugar aromas. You also taste some of the cinnamon spice and vanilla essence that comes with prolonged aging in the tiny traditional oak casks used to make this precious wine. The wine is sweet, concentrated and syrupy on the finish. This is a true beauty." Robert Parker

"The 2012 Vin San Giusto is incredibly refined. There is plenty of the richness that readers have come to expect from the Vin San Giusto, but at the same time, the 2012 is wonderfully precise and nuanced. Spicecake, tobacco, cedar and mint give the 2012 lovely aromatic complexity that gives the wine a remarkable sense of lightness for such a rich sweet wine. In a word: superb." Vinous
