Description

2022 Soffocone di Vincigliata, Bibi Graetz, Tuscany, ItalySoffocone is a very special wine from the Bibi Graetz stable: an ode to Sangiovese and the single vineyard it hails from. Vincigliatas vineyard is surrounded by a forest with 70 year old vines, rich Galestro soils, and a south south westerly exposure. Each component is integral to bringing forth the gleaming elegance in the final wine. The palate swells with sweet red cherry, vibrant pomegranate, blood orange, and an earthy complexity. There are notes

freshly turned earth

framed by fine tannins and acidity

opines David

broody at first yet gaining intensity in the glass with each swirl

white flowers and savoury spice

Andy Howard MW

concentrated and sweet with a light edge of vanilla spice and a touch of mint

near to La Landonne itself

This exquisite Brazilian rum from Epris distillery exudes a ripe fruitiness and smoky depth on its first nosing

stamping the assurance that this wine will age well over the next decade and more

an additional qualitative statement after coulure severely reduced the Grenache crop earlier in the season

and it just gets better every year
