The Tuscan Stars Mixed Case
The following mixed case includes the following wines:
Achille IGT Toscana, Bindi Sergardi 2021
"Winemaker Alessandra Casini Bindi Sergardi is the 24th generation at this Tuscan estate which is a long term favourite of FromVineyardsDirect. I have enjoyed various wines of theirs in the past. This is mostly Sangiovese with a touch of Merlot, and spent three months in French oak barriques. Deep crimson, the nose has a seductive creaminess and touch of fudge character, some sweet tobacco spice and hint of floral lift is lovely too. Medium-bodied, there's a real juiciness at the core of this, bursting-ripe black and red berries, with a nice firm cedar touch underpinning, but that juiciness combines with pert acidity and a light but gravelly tannin for real freshness in the finish. A little star."

'Sacromonte' Rosso, Castello di Potentino, Tuscany 2016
"From an organic estate just outside the Brunello di Montalcino appellation, this is 100% Sangiovese, fermented and aged in French oak for 24 months. I find the paler colour of this eight-year-old wine to be attractive, maybe just a hint of amber on the rim. On the nose there's a developed character, moving into an autumnal phase with dried leaves, truffle and a little chestnut. It's Sangiovese in a Burgundy mould, with a little sour cherry added. The palate has that same briary, mushroom and truffle softness, the tannins are resolved and elegant and the balance of the acidity is very good, giving this clarity into the gently spicy finish. The opposite of blockbuster, it's a lovely wine of individual style."

'Pergolaia' Caiarossa Toscana Rosso 2014
"A 10-year-old 'super-Tuscan', the vineyard here is run organically and biodymanically. The blend is Sangiovese with the Bordeaux trio of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. It is aged in older 500-litre barrels for a year before 10 months in concrete and large wooden vats. It's great that FromVineyardsDirect offers these mature wines at reasonable prices - two years ago they had an 18-year-old version of this same cuvée that was superb. This is no slouch either. Aromas are delightfully Bordeaux-like, with some pencil-shaving and graphite over black fruits and a gamy nuance, the Sangiovese perhaps adding a little brighter cherry. In the mouth it is medium-bodied, has good fruit, and tertiary development with a little spice and grainy tannin adding grip and elegant acidity. This is drinking well now."
