Crazy crazy wine.

Basically like someone in burgundy 40 years ago made a Sangiovese in Emilia Romagna.

So this is still tight and young.

Nose: green. Flits with floral. Fleeting pink roses. Like glimmers of Audrey Hepburn. Hints of earth. Savory as it opens.

Palate tannic. Pink rose juice. Fleeting an beautiful. Grippy. Long. Delicious after it opens. Amazing aromatics. Silky as it opens.

Needs a 60-120 minute decant. Nuts for a $30 wine. But it was underpriced bc it’s ER.

Wow. A singular wine. Never had a Sangiovese like this. “Cool” climate. Totally different expression. Wow. Like the valtellina of Sangiovese.

Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. The craziest instantiation of Sangiovese I’ve had. Like maybe super old pre climate warming Brunello.

Missed the boat thinking it was younger than 10 years.
Saline clear in the glass, acid for days, 11% alc helps keep this beauty young. — 6 years ago

Soft orchard fruits with good minerality. Got even better as the night went on. Solid 92+, maybe a 93. — 7 years ago

Some feral animal barnyard notes but on the palate energetic and flavoursome. Palate showing plum and earthy minerality is fluid and supple. Made with no added sulphites. I usually drink these natural wines sooner rather than later but this has the stuffing to cellar up to 10 years. — 8 years ago

A purity.

Pristine.

Spice.

The most elegant nose.

Almost a haiku of a wine.

Needs an hour. Or a century. I don’t know.

Immortal.

Audrey Hepburn. The Mona Lisa. The Goldberg Variations. Pieta.
