The Christmas Cowntdown is on – Camporsino Chianti DOCG Tuscany 2016

Is it ever too early to be thinking about what wine(s) will adorn the Christmas lunch table? No, I didn’t think so either. So with that sorted lets kick off our Christmas Wine countdown in May.

Lets start with the Camporsino Chianti DOCG Tuscany 2016 which is 100% Sangiovese. Gorgeous dark morello cherry and wet terracotta on the nose, the wine opens in the palate with a darker hit of cherry that is held together wonderfully – yes wonderfully – with mouth watering chewy tannins. What a ripping little number this one is. And the best thing is you do not have to wait for Christmas Day; you can come in today and swap it for $25. Mucho-fantastico stuff!!!!

and just so you know – there are 214 days until Christmas!!!

#TryJuly – 31 new Wine and Beer flavours to check out: #1 Fattoria Le Pupille Morellino Di Scansano 2013

Yet another month has befallen us where a big finger is wagged at us and due to the fact that we indulge in too muchtuscany1 of the Joy Juice. When did we start needing causes to practice moderation? Personal accountability goes a long way in my books. But anyway, that’s just what I think anywhoo. 

Starting today, July 1st, we will be showcasing 1 awesome flavour per day to celebrate 31 #TickityBooAce #TryJuly drops. If you can’t beat them, join them. So without further ado the first flavour off the rank is the mouth full that is Fattoria Le Pupille Morellino Di Scansano 2013. A dominant blend of Sangiovese with little bits of Alicante and Malvasia Nera, hails from the southern reaches of Tuscany and is every little bit of why we love Tuscan Sangio’s. Loaded with delicious tart Morello cherries, the palate opens a very savoury earthy tone of scorched earth – think dry terracotta – with more cherries coming to the fore but more like the rich Christmas cherries we hoe in to in December.

Just a beautiful winter red and a perfect flavour to lead off #TryJuly

Drink with Osso Bucco and always $24
