G'day
My first bottle from a six-pack purchased in 2023. 2019 was a good vintage in Tuscany. Ruby colour and pale at the rim.
Fresh red cherries and cherry liqueur, some leather, and oak-derived savoury dusty characters on the nose. Moderate intensity. The palate is juicy and mouthfilling, with a good balance of cherry fruits and savoury notes. Tannins are mildly grippy and the finish is more savoury than fruity. This would go well with food.
Cheers
Allan

I do like Isole e Olena.
Probably difficult to find, but I love their syrah ('eremo' Collezione de Marchi), which I find both representative of the grape, whilst also very much Italianate in style.
Beyond that, there are a lot of wines in their range, and I've not yet found one that wasn't at least worth the taste. It's been a while since I had a Cepparello, but very much enjoyed those I had.
I think I've just got a vin santo from them in the cellar now.
