This is squarely in my wheelhouse. Love this wine. Love this producer. Needed 45 minutes to open. The cork was only lightly stained and no sediment in bottle. This is still a young wine but bursting. Lots of fruit. Well balanced. Grippy and long. It has a maturity and a complexity despite its age. Another winner. — 6 hours ago

Ruby red with purple hues. Aromas of bright cherry, herbs and bell pepper. Bright red fruit, juicy wine with soft tannins. — a month ago

Heavenly. This opened up after three hours into a complex lengthy balanced gem. Lush cherry and fruit with lots of back end tar and earth. Smooth on the front end with grip at the finish. Loved it! — a month ago

Bright and lively. Fruit is bursting through. Not a very complex wine but it’s very reliable and a perfect accompaniment to sautéd red snapper and seafood risotto. — 9 days ago

This vintage of Pieve Santa Restituta is delicious. To be more specific: the best word to describe it is the English "smooth". The Polish "smooth" does not reflect the nuances. 🙂 Tannins pleasantly tighten the tongue. The acidity is perfect for me. Fleeting fruitiness on the nose, but none on the palate. Back to the nose: spices and herbs, especially thyme, some tobacco. I love the dryness of this wine. — a month ago

2016 vintage. This ain't Welcome to Plushytown. Decanted and crushed...er...enjoyed over the course of 30 mins. Obviously 25 years too early. Pretty complex nose already. Medium body. Entry and exit palate very lean and mean but middle palate is where the richness and fruit are bottled up. Will be interesting to see how that middle palate experience expands in coming years. Tremendous concentration. This wine is generally worth the commotion, pursuit and effort. 9.7.23. — 3 months ago

After two hours in the decanter really started to open up. Dense, smooth, lots of cab franc graphite. Some dark fruit and violets on the nose. — 9 days ago

Mostly Nerello Mascalese with a splash of Nerello Cappuccio, Ruby red color with aromas of ripe berry fruits, spice and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with herbs, caramel and hints of citrus rind. Medium+ finish, fine tannins ending with fruit, spice and sweet nutty earthy notes. Nice. — 21 days ago

Great wine this. Minerally with subtle and integrated oak. Fruits come later with that classic chardonnay banana note. Yes this will get better with age but there is already so much to enjoy. Went well with salad on a warm indian summer evening night — 3 months ago
