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)

Brancaia Tre Rosso IGT Toscana 2013 

Medium garnet color. Nose of cherries, earth, old wood and spices. A little more dark and serious on the palate when compared to the nose, this wine still offers beautiful flavors of berries from which the cherry is the clear leader, then tobacco, spices and oak wich a classy and long finish. Please bring me a steak and then we will have a great pairing! Very good (89)
