Nicely aromatic & quite ethereal with ripe dark damson plum boosted by aniseed and fleur d’oranger. Some tart cherry, too. Sweet yet savoury with a mineral, dusty core underneath. Enticing.
Medium bodied on the palate, with firm, dusty, fine tannins, framing a nice core of dark cherry and bright super fresh acidity. A hint of wet earth, a hint of baking spice towards the finish.
This is drinking beautifully right now and hinting at something more complex than just a usual sip. All the elements come together, not seamlessly but with really interesting edges. .
A truly lovely & delicious wine. — 5 months ago
For a cheap Pinot Grigio this was very good. Goes down very easily, yet pretty acidic. Nose is citrus fruit, tending more towards lime. Taste is grapefruit with tropical. Medium-pale colored. — 9 months ago
2022 spring. Enjoyable but fairly straightforward at this young age - if given a few more years it may develop the additional richness and interest of other recent Friulano bottles, and I would be curious to see if it would — 2 years ago
Of the two, the 06 is the more Sangiovese forward. Good old world notes. Drank well into day 2. Great value for a 15 year old baby Tuscan. — 3 years ago
Blend of 50% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot, deep Ruby red with fresh red berry aromas and some herb spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, cacao and licorice. Fine tannins, medium+ finish, good balance with acidity, ending with tobacco and oak on the finish. — 4 months ago
Spot on rose wine! Perfect with my light Italian fare. Resembled the Whispering Angel, but lighter and felt more like summer! Will definitely add this wine into my rotating rose cooler. — a year ago
Tasting at Tenuta seller Terrre Nere. More black fruit forward with a bit of spice and earthy. All though the same age as Caldera Sottana, more bold and rich. — 2 years ago

Nice cranberry / strawberry fruit, could have used a bit more freshness. This estate has never really captivated me for whatever reason — a month ago
