2018 Poggio San Polo "Rubio" Toscana Rosso

Velvet 48 Wine List: $40

90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon 

The Allegrini family of Valpolicella fame has done an incredible job of resurrecting this 16-hectare estate on the southern flanks of the town of Montalcino and has positioned Poggio San Polo as a top-tier producer of Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino. Well-structured and balanced with satisfying tannins and aromatic persistence. The nuances of forest fruits and cherries which are typical of the grape variety make it easy to drink, yet still intense and elegant. 

2017 Querciabella "Mongrana" Toscana Rosso

Velvet 48 Wine List: $35 

50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot - A delicious Tuscan blend from Querciabella's biodyanmic estate in Maremma. Harmony and simplicity are beautifully built around a supple core of fruit. Like the untamed nature of Maremma, Mongrana is vibrant and intense, charming to drink on its own, or paired easily with a variety of flavors.

2017 Tua Rita "Perlato del Bosco"  Toscana Rosso

Velvet 48 Wine List: $55

Rita Tua and her husband, Virgilio Bisti, bought approximately 37.5 acres of land in 1984 and planted it with Cabernet and Merlot. The winery released its first vintage in 1992, and soon began receiving praise and accolades from wine enthusiasts worldwide for its rich, full-bodied wines.

93 Points, James Suckling: "A silky, polished red with berries, chocolate, hazelnuts and a hint of dry earth on the nose. Medium to full body, firm, silky tannins and a fresh, bright finish.

2018 Aia Vecchia "Sor Ugo" Bolgheri Superiore 

Velvet 48 Wine List: $65

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot. Founded in 1996 by the Pellegrini family, Aia Vecchia has been crafting small-lot, high quality Super Tuscans in the rolling hills of Bolgheri and Maremma at great values ever since.

94 Points – Vinous: “The 2018 Sor Ugo is a superb Bolgheri red. Pliant, succulent and so expressive, the 2018 offers plenty of richness, but with terrific energy, too. Black cherry, mocha, spice, licorice and chocolate all build as the 2018 fills out over time. The purity of the flavors is striking.”

2019 Tenuta Sette Ponti "Crognolo" Toscana Rosso

Velvet 48 Wine List: $65 

90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot

Bright ruby red. Complex with a prevalence of small red fruits and floral notes. The body is beautifully balanced with a long finish.

94 Points James Suckling:"Aromas of currants, flowers and orange blossom follow through to a full body with very fine tannins that are tight and polished. Beautiful length and polish." 

93 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Tenuta Sette Ponti 2018 Crognolo is mostly Sangiovese blended in with about 10% Merlot. This is a nicely balanced wine that offers the tangy freshness and acidity of the first grape ironed out and softened by that smaller percentage of the second..."

2016 Gaja Ca Marcanda "Promis" Toscana Rossa  

Velvet 48 Wine List: $90

55% Merlot, 35% Syrah, 10% Sangiovese

The Gaja family founded a second estate in Tuscany, Ca’ Marcanda, in Bolgheri in 1996. “Promis was created to denote commitment, expectation, fulfillment and hope. 2016 was a fulfilling vintage. Embracing, structured, voluptuous and lively."

93 Points Robert Parker, 92 Points James Suckling, 92 Points Wine Spectator

"There is a lovely delicateness and softness to the 2016 Promis. The IGT appellation used here reflects fruit (a blend of Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese) sourced from Bibbona. The Promis has always seen Merlot in a leading role. This is a full and complete wine with nice roundness and bright freshness on the close. It is the most immediate and food friendly of these offerings from Ca'Marcanda." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
