Sipping Fine Wine 
The name of the estate comes from "Ca' Pazzo", shown on ancient maps. The estate covers an area of 190 hectares, 54 which are vineyards, 4 are olive groves, 87 which are wooded and 45 are to be planted with new vines. Vivid deep Ruby with a berry fruit bouquet and hints of smoke, aged for 2 years on oak. On the palate cherry & strawberry flavors, with leather, cacao and tar notes. Softening nicely, has lively acidity and approachable tannins, lingering ending with tobacco oak finish. Tasting Sample.

Medium to full bodied. Brandied black cherry, black truffle, faint of raspberry, rosemary, mint and pipe tobacco. Although I have a lot of descriptors here, the wine lacks finesse and integration of fruit and tannin, resulting in an awkwardness and in any quite as balanced as you would assume. Tannins are still abrasive and may need a few years to soften & integrate. A very dry food wine that needs food with salt and fat to counteract the tannin. Heavy roasts and red meat work well.

Mint, tomato skin, yogurt, sour cream, rosemary, and thyme. A touch of Brett. Elevated acid, tannin, and abv.

Mocha, violets, baked plum, cherry juice, orange. Bright cherry on the palate, from ripe to tart, with ginger snap and espresso notes that sharpen to dried cherry and cranberries. #Carparzo #brunello #Tuscany #montalchino #italianwine #sangiovese

Popped and poured. Day 1, this was okay. Day 4, this was okay. While this is clearly a traditional, well-made wine, I’m just not terribly impressed by this particular bottle’s showing. Cherries, strawberries, Earl Grey tea and dried herbs...all of which I love!!...but this never really generated any “oompf”. To be honest, this came across more like a really good RdM in terms of quality. I have another bottle that I will hold and see if it delivers more down the road. Maybe I’m missing something

BlackBerry, currant and plum. A hint of caramel. Very little tannin. Brunello growers from 40 years ago would not have recognized this Elizabetta Gnudi Angelli cuvée
