Had a bottle of Le Difese 2016 (so approx 8 years of age upon drinking) and there was a lot of expectation going into this tasting given the Sassicaia brand behind the winery. However it tasted light, diluted. On the other hand also had a Le Volte 2020 and it was wonderful, rich and incredibly aromatic and was cost roughly the same amount of $$$. Loaded up on a case of the Le Volte 2020 as a result
The high priced super Tuscans are SOOO over rated. They are far too similar to Cali cabs. Not alot of character. Sangiovese and Nebbiolo wines are infinitely more interesting, and have alot more personalities.
Thanks for watching and for the note. I tend to agree on the high priced examples and that is why I focus on those under $50 as they offer plenty of value. Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are two of my faves so I am aligned with your last statement.
