THE NEW RELEASE COLLECTION

ITALY ¡ RED WINE CONT’D SARDINIA OLIANAS CANNONAU 2023 DOC Cannonau di Sardegna

FATTORIA CARPINETA FONTALPINO DO UT DES 2019 IGT Toscana A blend of organic Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot, the Fattoria Carpineta Fontalpino 2019 Do Ut Des shows a beautiful sense of firmness and rich density. It amply wraps over the palate and begs to be served next to one of Tuscany’s air-dried T-bone steaks cooked rare. Blackberry and mulberry play a leading role, but the wine also shows a strong supporting cast of black olive, spice and toasted rye bread. Earthy mineral notes appear over a long finish. This vintage is excellent. Drink date: 2024‹2035. Score: 95 (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, July 25, 2024)

90% Cannonau, 10% Tintilla de Rota. Exuberant cherries, raspberries and herbs sweep across the nose, permeating the lush juicy structure and crystalline acidity, uniting on a cushion of vanilla at the end.

petrichor, the Altesino 2020 Brunello di Montalcino shows the character of a house style that is easily recognized. This elegant wine offers a polished and smooth mouthfeel with finely tuned tannins. The oak is also expertly managed to show some light spice that is deeply integrated into a silky mouthfeel. Of the village Brunellos I tasted from 2020, this one offers excellent quality and will prove easy to locate thanks to its ample release of 110,000 bottles. Drink date: 2025‹2040.
