Rocca Delle Macie Tenuta Sant'Alfonso 2015

/ The output of Sergio Zingarelli's winery is awesome. Sergio is never happier than when putting his skills to the test, keeping a weather eye on the market or looking after his top-of-the-range selections. Tenuta Sant'Alfonso '01 is subtler, showing fresh aromas and a supple, elegantly enjoyable body.

Recommended/

/ Nice nose, with ripe plum, berry and flowers following through to a medium-bodied palate. Silky tannins and a medium finish.

/ This 100% Sangiovese offers inviting aromas of forest floor, dried strawberries, cherries, cassis, floral, cedar, and saddle. The palate is smooth and silky, with notes of sarsaparilla, turned earth, mushroom, candied ginger, and toasted almond. This wine has the signature zesty acidity of Italian Sangiovese, along with beautifully integrated tannins. Complex and balanced, it has a long finish.

Tenuta Sant' Alfonso 2004 - Sante/ Old World style with elegant fruit and hints of iron and meat; medium to full bodied with smooth acidity, present tannins, and a long finish. Spaghetti and meatballs.

Tenuta Sant'Alfonso 2011 - 87 points, Wine Enthusiast/ Made entirely from Sangiovese, this wine features aromas of violet, ripe red berries and coffee. The juicy, straightforward palate offers mature black cherry and blackberry layered with espresso notes. The wine has firm tannins, but since it reflects the warm vintage, it isn’t an ager. Enjoy soon.
