Il Macchione Vino Nobile Riserva 2001

On just four hectares of vineyard, producer Robert Kengelbacher created a true expression of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva. This vintage is blackish-red with layers of intense tar, licorice and plum. The 2001 bottling exhibits an impeccable class and balance despite its full structure, which supports its ability to age for many years.
This is one to add to the cellar.

Talenti Rosso di Montalcino 2007

This Rosso di Montalcino acts like a little brother to Talenti's classic Brunello—it has all of the characteristics shown on a slightly smaller scale. Made from grapes harvested from younger Brunello vines, this wine matures in oak barrique for two years and in bottle for one. The resulting wine possesses an enchanting balance between ripe, red fruit, spunky acidity, and velvety tannins.

Petrolo Torrione 2006

Torrione is known for being an inveterate performer, a condition that is achieved in off-years through the addition of Merlot. This was particularly beneficent in the 2002 vintage, which was blighted by rain; in fact, the estate was recognized as one of the top Tuscan performers of the vintage. In the past, Tuscan winemakers frequently blended Sangiovese with other varietals, a trademark of the Super-Tuscan movement. In modern practice, however, winemakers are increasingly producing monovarietal bottlings of Sangiovese, attesting to the grape’s inherent ability to perform on a solo basis.

HK$418.00

Tua Rita Rosso di Notri 2007

Bright with red fruit, cheery with warm spices, zesty with acidity, this 100% Sangiovese brings the fun—and the value. Plump and juicy,
the '08 Rosso dei Notri is the go-to Tua Rita, a wine for dinner with the
family on a Thursday night. Drinking for the next five years, probably longer.
