flashy wines that were predominant

Niigata Meijo is located in Ojiya in the central region of Niigata Prefecture — a fertile valley for rice farming surrounded by snow-covered mountains

2020 La Torre Brunello Di Montalcino Gamay flashy wines that were predominantBrunello is the "King" of Italian red wines and this one sits atop the hills at one of the highest vineyards in the area at over 1500 meters! Aged for a minimum of 4 years in large well worn Slavonian oak casks, a very traditionally made Brunello, not "modern" with oak. Complexity rules here, a truly contemplative wine, find a good leather chair and settle in with this one.
