2 nights in Pitigliano, 2 bottles of this. Couldn't resist. Would it be any different? Yes, and it was even better on the second night. (And 38 euros instead of 40.) Less plum, more earth, chalk, and elegance. Bottle variation can be very interesting. — 9 years ago
Ottimo con insalata di ceci e gamberi e calamaro ripieno! — 11 years ago

2018 vintage.
60 % Sangiovese and 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon from a single vineyard in Alta Maremma called Rompicollo near Pitigliano.
Rompicollo translates as “break neck” but means a tremendously steep, slippery slope.
Southern exposure with soil rich in Tufo, a volcanic rock. Fermented in stainless steel and aged 1 year in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Medium bodied with bright red fruit, dried thyme and rosemary on the nose.
Red plums, currants and smokey black fruit. Crisp and lively acidity with a clean, refreshing finish.
13 % ABV. — 2 years ago
