Casanova di Neri Rosso-di-Montalcino 2012 

Dark garnet color. Nose of spicy red and black berries, of earthy notes, leather and some oak. Dense and deep on the palate, the wine is tasty with its mixed berry flavors, leather, spices and oak also there, but well integrated. This wine have the structure to be cellared, but with some air, which is what I did, this is good from now! Excellent (91)

Argiano Rosso di Montalcino 2013

Light and translucid garnet color. A little green at first, aromas of cherries and clay will come with air. Chewiness and good acidity level pairs with Morello cherries, small red berries on a short finish. Still, I like that lighter style very food friendly. Good+ (88)
