Chicken paprikash can be tricky with its complex peppers and rich creaminess. This wine was lush and lovely: a great pairing. — 2 years ago

One of the few times I gave a wine time to open up and decanted it. Very smooth and even my husband enjoyed a few sips (not a wine drinker). I have a few bottles of 2019 and am wondering how they will compare — 5 years ago

Beautiful cherry, flowery nose, with just enough tannin to keep it all together. The right accompaniment for ragu, and rabbit agnolotti. — 4 years ago

Just popped and double-decanted this to go with Ligurian braised rabbit. In my experience, this is a producer where you don’t have to worry much about whether the wine will be ready to drink because their wines tend to be delicious early and also age well in the mid-term. Right away, this shows scents of dried leather, macerated mid-cherry, gravelly earth. And dark spice. Surprisingly structured on the palate, with intense savory flavors complementing dark cherry. Lengthy, intense finish. This will keep for several more years but is really good now. — 4 months ago

2022/12/22-24. This was an interesting but tricky bottle. It went through many phases over several days - hard, stony and a bit alcoholic, raisiny (though not sweet), lively and rich and balanced, herbal red fruit... At first I was a bit disappointed as I generally love Montigiano and Bilaccio, but I think this showed that it just might need a bit more time to settle down, and could be pretty great when it does. — 3 years ago
