G.D. Vajra Langhe Rosso 2014

Medium ruby color. Nose of flowers, red berries, earth, then sweet spices. You can also feel freshness and a light bitterness coming out of the aromas. Same profile on the palate with a good acidity level, a fine and enjoyable bitterness on the finish, but the fruit is so chewy and tasty and makes this wine highly drinkable. I found it better at bottle opening as it was more crisp after some time. Enjoy it now of after a short cellaring time. Very good (89)

Made of Barbera 40 %, Dolcetto 25 %, Nebbiolo 25 %, Freisa, Albaroaas and Pinot Noir. The ageing last from 18 to 24 months, partly in tanks and in “pièces” of one to three wines. Alcohol level of 13%

Available at the SAQ for 21,95$ (Code SAQ : 12464953)

Velenosi Il Brecciarolo Rosso Piceno DOC Superiore 2013

Medium dark purple color. Nose of black berries, a good load of spices, black earth and a hint of cedar wood. Even if the spices notes are quite bold on the palate, the berry flavors paired with the wine structure and silky tannins are not stopping the wine to clearly be enjoyable. Great wine to pair with food due to its acididity level on the finish. Good+ (88)

Made of 70% Montepulciano and 30% Sangiovese. Aged in one year old oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13,5% 

Available in SAQ stores for 15,85$ (Code SAQ : 10542647)

 Fontodi Chianti Classico DOCG 2012

Ruby color with purple hue. Aromas of red berries, spices, flowers and leather. Sappy fruit on the palate, the right amount of spice flavors, it drinks so well, especially with food where the wine simply shine. Still young and it shows with the tension and the little dryness on the finish. Air does help and adds silkiness on the palate to make me appreciate even more this wine. Very good+ (90)
