Rosso Di Montalcino, Patrizia Cencioni 2020
This exceptional family-run winery, led by a talented team of female winemakers, traces its origins back to 1989 when the estate's driving force, Patrizia, set her sights on producing Brunello. What was once a neglected property has transformed into a vibrant winery filled with life and passion. Amidst olive groves, the estate's Sangiovese vines are dedicated to crafting Brunello di Montalcino. With a commitment to the highest quality, all vineyards are focused on Brunello production, though they also produce a hidden gem—a Rosso that serves as a "baby Brunello" for earlier enjoyment. The vineyards, located in the southeast at a high altitude, thrive in soil composed of volcanic rock and compacted clay (Galestro). The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using indigenous yeasts, ensuring the wine’s authenticity and character.
Saumur Rouge, Domaine Guiberteau 2023
The 2023 Saumur Rouge from Domaine Guiberteau is a supple, medium-bodied Loire red built on 100% Cabernet Franc - fresh and direct, with bright red-fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry, subtle herbal and earthy hints, and a touch of forest-floor complexity. It has a mineral-tinged finish that keeps things clean and refreshing, and is the sort of wine that slips easily into a casual dinner, but still has enough character to pair with grilled meats, charcuterie, or tomato-based dishes. Domaine Guiberteau is a family-run estate in Saumur (Loire Valley), now managed by Romain Guiberteau. Since 1996 they’ve focused on quality over quantity, converting to organic viticulture and working with sustainable, minimal-intervention methods. Their vineyards range from 7 to 80 years old.
