85/100 » DOC Bianco Pisano di San Torpè 2008 • “From the province of Pisa, from an old DOC that is rarely seen outside the area. Trebbiano with 20% Malvasia. Clean fresh and fragrant, simple but very drinkable. Palate has modest concentration, light alcohol (12%) and zestylively acid. Drink young.”

86/100 » DOCG Chianti 2007 • Clean, lively and fruity, highly inviting, with youthful red and sour cherry notes. The palate is honest and natural, with modest alcohol (under 13%) and light grippy/dusty tannins that give this a rustic drinkability. A modern rendition of an everyday table wine classic that this cries out to be served chilled with a plate of spaghetti al pomodoro.
