The winery has been renamed after the family, Pestoni. Motor oil, integrated tannins, layered black fruit, smoke. — 4 years ago
Sangiovese. Easy drinking, slightly peppery — 5 years ago
Complex! Berry brambles, plums, crushed gravel — a year ago
Rim to rim invariance of black cherry peel with smoky topaz highlights. Nearly Dense and dark as black coffee. Violets shine on a nose of plum , black currant jelly, blueberry-dark chocolate, roses with a tiny whiff of bovine, tilled soil, dried blackberries, and blueberry bran muffin. Graphite and licorice extract keep the fruity nose in check, and the burgeoning power of the palate rushes from the glass. Leather and oak frame the crushed, dried violet, in a grilled herbs de Provence, bing cherry, black cherry, and currant culmination!
What a finish. Lengthy resonance is finally whittled to a raspberry point.
