Pale gold hue. Aromas of cream, grapefruit, grass, orange blossom, peach, pear, and vanilla. Medium body and high acidity. Inviting on the nose, with subdued crispness on the palate and finish of minerals. From the color and nose I suspect some oak aging. Perfect pairing with cheese and charcuterie. — 6 days ago

Medium lemon-hued. Aromas and flavors of chamomile, honeysuckle, lemon, lychee, and peach. Medium body and medium-plus acidity. The nose is fragrant, while the palate is full of citrus and lychee, with a little (alcoholic) heat and creamy texture (from sur lie aging) on the finish. Still young but quaffable now. — 4 days ago

8.7

Ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas of cherry, earthy, oak, plum, tar, and violet. Medium-plus body; firm, medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. Bright cherry and subtle earthy on the palate with a medium-length finish. 100% Sangiovese. Not as impressive as the 2015 vintage (at the time of tasting), but still approachable. Another year or two would improve it and show off its character. — 12 days ago
