Vino #1
Had a couple glasses after a full day of travel before the jet lag kicked in… so kind of slept through this one but honestly, average. Hoped for more. — 23 days ago
Rookie score…everyone knows the rules.
Good for the price.
I’ve been kind of off cabs. After this… still am.

Liked. Don’t love. A touch of a stemmy/ green astringency lingered a bit. — 18 days ago

One of my favorite bottles of the trip.
Traditional and earthy Sangiovese flavors, medium tannins,…but overall remaining a bit light and delicate given the flavor profile.
A beautiful elegant wine.and great value at €20.
Will look to get some home. — 18 days ago
Got the last bottle at Cortona’a beautiful Al Tocco restaurant. Som said the bottle was “touched by God”.
Sadly, God didn’t know Syrah just isn’t my jam.

A little melony funk with a subtle spice to open. Dry. Enjoyable lemon citrus finish.
Nice change of pace. Enjoyed.

Best Italian I had was first bottle after getting home from Italy…
Earth, cran…. Subtle apricot and mint finish.
tannins softened as we killed the bottle.
