Wine tasted at the winery and had to purchase this bottle. We tasted 5 different red wines and this was my favorite. Smooth red. — 5 years ago

The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino Sogni e Follia is layered and darkly intriguing, even sultry in nature, as dried black cherries give way to exotic Indian curries, brown spice, masses of crushed stone minerality and hints of cocoa. Its silky textures wash an invigorating mix of citrus-tinged red berries and inner herbal tones across the palate, all motivated by a nearly-salty acid profile. Notes of tangerine, ginger and rose fill the senses, as this tapers off incredibly long, staining and lightly structured. This is the current vintage release of the Sogni e Follia, a single-vineyard Rosso di Montalcino that refines for thirty months in large oak barrels prior to bottling. It fits neatly into the category of “Baby Brunello”. (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2022)

Big nose with red fruit, winegum and sage. Tight but powerful on the palate. More vegetation than fruit. Excellent finish. — 6 years ago

Never had wine from this producer before. Quite wonderful. At this stage of age needs about 30 mins for some oak to blow off, but then it’s quite in balance with with wonderful fruit, solid acid, nice long finish, and great mouthfeel and texture. Quite delicious. — a month ago
