Ferrata Frevi Reserve Etna Rosso 2020

Ferrata Frevi Reserve Etna Rosso is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese.


Intense ruby red witth great structure, silky tannins, soft and elegant.



Review:

"Aromas of blood orange, cranberries, hibiscus, pepper, pencil lead and crushed rock create a tangy but floral nose. The palate is similarly poised between fruit and earth strawberries and more cranberries that contrast with a metallic earthiness. A minty breeze provides freshness, pushed by fiery acid. — Danielle CALLEGARI"

Poggio San Polo Rosso di Montalcino 2021

Bright and glossy ruby red in color. On the nose it reveals aromas of small fresh berries and a trace of sour cherry, melded with hints of blackberries and black cherries, followed by a hint of vanilla. A fragrant wine with satisfying intensity. On the palate it is warm, smooth and a medium-bodied with finely-balanced tannins. Dry and sinewy yet fresh with a persistent, aromatic finish.

It naturally accompanies dishes that are typical of Tuscan cuisine with its bold, authentic flavors, such as pasta and risottos made with mushrooms or truffles, pork, grilled meats and medium-matured cheeses.



 Review:

Notes of ripe cherries, dried flowers and walnuts with hints of anisette and licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, compact and dense with creamy tannins and steady acidity. Weighty and structured. Drink or hold.
