When you talk about the history of winemaking, there aren’t many places like Tuscany that can seamlessly trace their winemaking routes back by many centuries. Sure the French have some oldies too, but so many Tuscan wineries have been passed down from generation to generation, keeping the same traditions and building upon a winning recipe.
Case in point is Poggibonsi right outside the border of the Black Rooster historic Chianti area. There lies Ormanni’s estate, which has a history that goes back hundreds of years. With 60 hectares of vineyards on the Chianti/Chianti Classico border, the estate is one of the highest regarded wineries in the region with their innovative take on old-school practices.
Their neighbors seem to always take notice, as do the critics. Antonio Galloni’s Vinous called out the winery last year, saying “readers with classically leaning pallets will find much to admire. Their property along the border of Chianti Classico is amongst the most intriguing in the region.”
While Ormanni makes a number of wines– they have developed an incredibly strong reputation for their Sangiovese. Every year, their Sangiovese Big 3 of Chianti Classico, Riserva and Gran Selezione earn big time scores. Farming organically and using both cement and steel for fermenting, the winery takes their time with aging, with the wines eventually being switched to casks. These make for some crazy good and age-worthy wines that show beautifully in their youth.

Camphor, new leather, dark spice and ripe wild berry aromas waft out of the glass. On the dense palate, close-grained tannins accompany roasted coffee bean, coconut, licorice and dried cherry. Drink through 2023.

The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino from Aleramici hits all the right notes. It has a nice medium weight to it with easy drinking cherry, creme de cassis and purple fruits. It’s multi-dimensional with waves of some dark plum and blackberry with more sage and spice components as well that compliment it perfectly.
The newly released Fiancetto Howell Mt. Cabernet is a dream – a gorgeous, elegant dark-fruited Cabernet Sauvignon that is it picks up time in the glass, unfurls its full signature of cedar laced cassis nose and mid palate of chocolate-covered cherries and savory spices. Only four palates of this (224 cases) were made off a gorgeous, sprawling high elevation spot 1500 feet above sea level. It’s full and plush and finishes fresh and oh so long. The price is crazy for Howell Mountain Cabernet but that’s what Ry Richards and Fiancetto is all about.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
