Winery - Gualdo del Re
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Here’s another powerful red (80% Sangiovese and 20% Canaiolo) with aromas of moist tobacco, leather, blackberry, dusty minerality and a thick, extracted mouthfeel. It scores well in texture and persistency and would pair wonderfully with grilled meat.

Inky, modern and deeply concentrated, this is a bruiser; delivers lavish notes of blueberry preserves, plum, prunes, pipe tobacco, smoked bacon and cigar box. Game meat or duck will enhance the dusty tannins and creamy mouthfeel.

This is a real mouthful. Nose is very leathery and herbal. Clearly a high-extract wine with high tannins and a velvety core. The long, complex finish bodes well for the future. A Barolo lover’s wine.

Almond, forest floor, wild berries and fresh plums describe the friendly nose of this Sangiovese from coastal Tuscany. Spice flavors of cinnamon and clove appear in the mouth and are enhanced by the wine’s rich consistency and length.

Definitely a cheerful rosé with a brilliant ruby color and subtle amber reflections, this easy-to-drink wine delivers cranberries, rose petal, white chocolate and sweet raspberry. It’s simplistic but refreshing and tart in the mouth.

Exotic fruit, banana and yellow rose are embellished by toasted almond, vanilla, maple syrup and herbal tones. But the wine is too watery and light-weight in the mouth to score higher.

How do you get Sangiovese to taste like this? Dense, unfiltered and concentrated, this is smoky, ripe and intense, with blackberry, pipe tobacco, charcoal, moist earth and a chewy, almost sticky, feel in the mouth. It sees 18 months in barrique and one year of bottle aging; made with the same Sangiovese clone that produces Brunello.

Gualdo del Re’s honey-toned Vermentino offers rich saturation and density thanks to the Tuscan sunshine. The wine is thick and glossy with warm notes of peach, nectarine and apricot. The finish is creamy and rich and would stand up to cheese-based dishes.

Easygoing and fresh, this ruby-colored wine offers sweet cherry nuances with lighter aromas of almond and ground cinnamon. It’s a cheerful and sunny wine that shows good integrity of fruit and a clean, crisp finish.

The toasted tones are deep and penetrating thanks to 15 months of oak aging and are backed by blueberry, coffee and vanilla. There is attractive dimension to this wine shaped by lavish exotic spice, firm tannins, chewy sweetness and vibrant fruit flavors: An excellent red meat Merlot.
