A failed blind, but it was WOTN for me and most on the table! Roses and tar notes along with substantial acid and grip (although elegant) found me firmly in Piedmont. Should have known - it’s not the first time I’ve mistaken a Sangiovese for a Nebbiolo (and notably more so than the other way around). Blind aside, the wine itself definitely had everyone on the table buzzing with excitement when first poured. So aromatic and complex, with notes of dark red cherries, roses, tar, smoky incense, and liquorice. Robust tannins on the palate, yet there’s a real airiness to the wine. Beautiful energy with the underlying mineral streak. Just pure drinking pleasure!
NB: From what I understand, the “Cielo” now replaces the Rosso, which will no longer be made at the winery. The “Cielo” is a blend of different plots. — 9 months ago

Benchmark. Beautiful. Elegant Sangiovese with classic Sangiovese nose of herbs, red fruited, floral. Wonderful balance. — a month ago
2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and after 30 mins. Reticent nose. Medium-heavy body. Massive flavors and structure. Wouldn’t open it any time soon. Phenomenal now but so so intense. If you can Potsie it for a decade plus, do so. Another reminder as to why Barolo is the wine of kings. 11.01.24. — 2 months ago
