and Pinot Meunier from Dizy

The Castello di Monsanto 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Vigneto Il Poggio shows dark fruit and baked plum with a hint of barbecue spice or campfire ash

and in particular the misconception that wines from hot years don’t age

Donnhoff, Oberhauser Brucke Riesling Auslese other_regions_italy and Pinot Meunier from Dizy(for 375 ml.) Rich golden yellow. Passion fruit, a floral nuance and a bit of licorice on the nose. Pineapple and honey give way to brisk spicy acidity on the palate. A well balanced, vivid auslese that finishes smoky and long, with an almost salty minerality. Joel B. Payne
