La Casaccia di Franceschi Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (Red)

Somewhat restrained on the nose, surprisingly. On the palate, some dark blue, highly concentrated chewy fruit. Blueberries and hedgerow fruit. Slightly smoky. Concentrated, but unimaginative. The tannins... They're also concentated and unimaginative. Disappointing. Lots of fruit and flowers, but don't even bother drinking this for half a decade - is that what we're looking for?

We’re mother and son duo Elizabeth Gabay MW and Ben Bernheim. Between us, we’ve been involved in the wines of southern France for over 30 years. Elizabeth started working with the wines of Provence back in 1986, and for the past 20 years has lived on the eastern edge of south-east France. We’ve worked on three books on rosé: Rosé Understanding the Pink Wine Revolution (2018), Elizabeth Gabay’s Buyers Guide to the Rosés of Southern France (2021 e-guide) and, most recently Rosés of Southern France (2022).
