But when I come across great wines, I don&#8217;t mind what they are made from or where they come from. This pair from Riecine are really lovely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Riecine Chianti Classico 2012 Tuscany, Italy<\/strong><br \/>\n13.5% alcohol. Complex and aromatic with elegant red cherries, plums, spice and subtle earth, with hints of pepper. The palate is fresh with some spiciness and just a hint of balsamic character, as well as bright, supple, spicy cherry and berry fruit. Nicely poised and quite classic. 92\/100 (\u00a322 Winemakers Club, Tanners)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Riecine Toscana IGT 2011 Italy<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is 100% Sangiovese, and its the second vintage of this wine: no new oak, foot trodden, old vines. Lovely sweet nose of cherries plums and spices. Powerful and structured but with elegance too. Very spicy and savoury but with a sweetness to the cherry and plum fruit, finishing grippy and structured. Classic Sangiovese: structured, lively, with real presence and power. This drank well over three successive evenings. 94\/100 (\u00a340 Winemakers Club)<\/p>\n<p>Find these wines with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s fair to say that I am not the biggest Sangiovese fan out there.
