Ambra Carmignano Riserva Elzana 2001
I have mentioned Ambra briefly before - we bought a few different bottles from this producer last year when we visited Carmignano. We drank this a couple of weeks ago so I can not say anything about it in detail other than I remember enjoying it very much! This is from BeverageBusiness.com:

"Elzana is another cru. It has galestro and clay soil. Rigoli makes Riservas of these two crus, only as the quality of the vintages dictates. I tasted the 1998 Riservas of both crus, slightly prefering the Elzana. The Sangiovese sung an opera in Elzana. The tannins, too, were particularly soft and rich given Sangiovese's recalcitrant hard, thin tannic personality. It was a solid wine."

That was about an earlier vintage, but I think it applies to the 2001 as well. I really like this producer and the region - the use of Cabernet gives them something different from many other Sangiovese based wines.

Poggio Castagno Brunello di Montalcino 2001
This was the bottle I picked up in the Esselunga on Via Masaccio here in Florence. Definitely a bargain Brunello - you would not confuse this with an Argiano - but a nice wine, that benefited from several hours of opening. At around €13 a bottle on sale, I would buy more. Some more years in the bottle would probably further help.
