Date: Thursday, August 5, 2021 "Earthy and savory, with scorched soil on top of dark cherry and dried blackberry, the 2016 Torgiano Rosso Riserva Rubesco Vigna Monticchio is streamlined, focused and tight compared to the open-knit 2015 vintage that I tasted at the same time. Showing faint mineral tones, these vines planted among tobacco fields (for making Toscano cigars) have a distinctive smoky or savory quality. This is an Umbrian classic of some 35,000 bottles produced annually."

Date: Monday, September 16, 2019 "A blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino, this focused red opens with aromas of black cherry and blue flowers along with a whiff of exotic spice. Savory and medium bodied, the polished palate delivers cassis, white pepper and star anise set against polished tannins. Bright acidity keeps it fresh and focused. Drink now through 2023."
