Blend of primarily Sangiovese (70%) along with equal parts Sagrantino (15%) and Merlot (15%). Medium ruby color with purple highlights and a garnet rim. Aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate, violets, leather, forest floor and dried herbs. Black cherry, cassis and pomegranate flavors with additional hints of tobacco, black licorice and wet soil. Medium earthy/spicy finish and a grainy texture. Some grip and power but nicely balanced. Pleasant rustic quality. Solid value. — 24 days ago

Even after a few years of bottle age this is very tannic. And this blend only has smaller part Segrantino! Would benefit from more cellering, for sure. It’s rough but feels very well made. — 3 months ago

Interesting Single Vineyard Barolo! Very “Pinot Noir-like.” Light ruby color. Intense aromas of rose petals and violets. Red cherry/raspberry fruit on the palate with hints of tar, spices and menthol. Well balanced acidy and extremely soft tannins for a Barolo. Great sipper! Not traditional-style Barolo. Thanks for sharing this interesting bottle, Kase! — 10 months ago

Vintage 2023 | Juicy and very quaffable grechetto. Each time I taste this brings me back to a visit to Arnaldo Capraï in Umbria. It is a emotion wine to me. Paired with a schnitzel. — 3 months ago

100% Pinot Noir from Umbria, Italy. Quite strong with 15% vol. Alcoholic heat is present. This needs additional cellaring like the Merlot a couple of weeks ago. Promising… — 7 months ago

Structured but quite elegant with sandy tannins, giving red plums, earth, spice, and incense. — 3 months ago

Outstanding. Another confirmation of how much I love Sagrantino and all things Umbria. — 5 months ago

Second vintage of this Umbria Merlot where Michel Rolland was involved. Still very tight with a serious tannic backbone. But… I think that this will become a beauty after some additional cellaring. If I would have tasted it blind I would have said Bordeaux. Very classic. You could ask yourself what the added value is when making an Umbria merlot which tastes as a Bordeaux one? But this is nothing more than a personal opinion — 9 months ago
