2016 opened Nov 2021. This wine is young and just beginning to be drinkable. I give an 8.9 more for what I think it can become rather than what it is now (8.7). Heavy tobacco, nettles, and blackberry on the nose. Light fruit on the front, blackberries and — and someone mentioned vanilla? — I get the vanilla stick flavor — that becomes bitter dark chocolate on the mid palate. Tannins on the front of the palate are soft and of a medium density — so it took me off guard when this wine hit me with a strongly bitter but acidic ending. I found a bit off putting. Ten amore years and I think those components will fade. Drink this with a seared ribeye steak, or maybe a rich double chocolate cake. It’s a pretty powerful tipple and I suspect it will overwhelm most other pairings. — 3 years ago

Last night of Florence honeymoon and this younger merlot blend was up for the occasion!! Mi amore ❤️ — a year ago
Light bodied red with bright crunchy red fruit but there is a woodsy component and a great finish of cherries and earth. Good with Moroccan food tonight. I could imagine this perfect with most meals. — 3 years ago

A magia vem da parcial desidratação das uvas antes da vinificação. Além de serem cultivadas em diversos platôs na Puglia e envelhecidos por 6 meses em barricas de carvalho francês. — 3 years ago
