To consider modern day Tuscan wine, one should give props to the Etruscans, who inhabited this central Italian region starting in the 6th century BC. Tuscany is a land of abundant sunshine, rolling green hills, spring water, a spectacular breezy coast and rich soils. If you’re going to set up a civilization, this is a pretty terrific place to do it. Especially if you have a bunch of gods that need worshipping with the heavy consumption of wine.

Nice little chianti. Nothing special but decent flavors of ripe cherry, medium tannin, some spice and good acidity. Plays well with spicy italian food. Read More

"Hot" nose. I don't know how else to describe it, but I get it a lot with Italian red wines. It's seems like a characteristic of a not-very-marure wine with noticeable alcohol. On the palate it's quite pleasant. Some raspberry and plum fruit flavors. It is quite smooth as it passes over the palate. No worries from alcohol. Some acid. Ver... Read More

The nose was classic Monsanto Chianti, showing ripe strawberry, with hints of plum, barnyard, animal musk and a whiff chalky mineral. On the palate, it was silky with great balanced acidity lending juicy tones as concentrated red fruits and dried spices seduced the senses. The finish showed hints of refined tannin with tart fruit lingering thr... Read More

The nose was thrilling with crushed strawberry, fall leaves, wild herbs and hints of animal musk. On the palate, it was medium-bodied with lush fruit and silky textures contrasting it's broad structure. Flavors of red berry, orange zest, hints of cedar and herbal tea filled the senses. The finish turned dry, yet saturating fruits lingered thro... Read More

I would like to propose you the wines from Montecarlo, near Lucca in Tuscany. Maybe they are not so renowed but their quality is very good and are highly appreciated by lovers of good wine.
