Latest Wine Spectator Ratings for Tenimenti Luigi d' Alessandro
Syrah Cortona Migliara 2006 98 points | $100 | 500 cases made | Red
Black color, with amazing aromas of blackberries, anise, black pepper, and minerals. Full-bodied, with braised meat, superpolished tannins and an ultralong finish. The bomb. This is the first release of a single-vineyard Syrah made by Piedmont's Luca Currado (Vietti) and Christine Vernay (Georges Vernay/Condrieu), who now consults here. Best after 2011. From Italy.-J.S.
Tenimenti Luigi d'Alessandro
Syrah Cortona Il Bosco 2006
95 points | $70 | 1,335 cases made | Red
Intense licorice, blackberries, minerals, sandalwood and flowers on the nose. Full-bodied, with superpolished and silky tannins that turn to a butterscotch, toffee, berry and chocolate aftertaste, with just a hint of meat and spice. Tannic and powerful, yet balanced. Best after 2012.-J.S.
