Nose is stewy.

Too bad. Palate is great. Big Tintilia spice. Killer blackberries. Fresh as heck. A bit bitter. — 3 years ago

A wine we purchased in 2008 at Le Volpe e L'uva in Firenza, this wine is Italy. I think this is the only producer that makes a bottling of pure tintilia del molise, this is a really interesting wine reminiscent of a rosso di montalcino with the power of a montepulciano d'abruzzo. Remakrkable power after 10 years, this is drinking surprisingly well. A terrific wine that is Italy in a glass. Fantastic! — 9 years ago

@delectable this is called “gran maestro.” Wow. Amazing wine. Nose is lilacs. Almost volnay. Maybe crossed with really good old school napanir Bordeaux. Sweet blackberries. Gorgeous. Very deep. Amplitude is 10/10. Huge nostril filler. Like an atomizers inside your nostrils. A $200 nose.

Palate is wonderful. A cross between a perfect blueberry and a perfect wild just picked blackberry. Fresh. Some spice. Some licorice. Insane texture. But it’s all about the balance. Just coats the palate and sticks there. Lingering finish. Juicy. Blackberry licorice. 30 seconds at least.

Needs 30 minutes to integrate.

Buy it all. — 6 years ago
