feeling it necessary to cloak the exceptional fruit and powerful tannins

smooth brown spice and brioche cream

and stress at the just the right moment for the Cabernet Sauvignon

reminding one of our tasters of a “Pfalz Riesling on steroids”

Podere 414 Sangiovese IGT ‘Badilante’ 2023 frank-phelan feeling it necessary to cloakIntense ruby red colour. Spicy on the nose with hints of red fruit and a wonderfully subtle woody note. Pure fruit takes centre stage on the palate, unadorned, straightforward and cheerful with cherries, redcurrants and a present but rather restrained acidity structure. Long and persistent on the palate, with iodised tannins, a fruity, tart finish and a floral final. A great and extremely affordable red wine experience from the Maremma! SUPERIORE. DE
