Lemon cake, butterscotch and baking spice aromas and flavors mark this succulent white. Earth and stone accents chime in as this winds down on the finish, revealing a chalky feel. Best from 2021 through 2027. 17 cases imported.

Polished and perfumed nose of hazelnuts, chocolate strawberries, sage, cherries and Spanish cedar. Firm and structured, with a full body enveloping just-ripe fruit and chocolate. All balanced by bright acidity. Refined. This would score even higher with a longer finish, but fantastic nonetheless.

The Tenute Silvio Nardi 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Vigneto Poggio Doria is a dark wine, certainly in character, but also in appearance and flavor profile compared to the estate's village bottling. Surrounded by forest but with a wide panorama and plenty of light, Poggio Doria has a hearty mix of sand and clay soils that help to solidify the freshness and the savory aromas of the wine. This vintage is especially bold and concrete with black plum, crushed stone and a hint of something gamey like vintage suede or leather. The 15% alcohol content is evident in this wine, but you also get more overall complexity and depth with big bones and considerable structure for aging. This is a 3,500-bottle release.
