Insane nose. Such an elegant vintage for this. Gorgeous nose of spice and licorice, smoke and oolong tea. Loads of minerals and so inviting. Citrus rind as well. Also melting road tar. Palate is juicy, vibrant and balanced. Terrific cherry fruit and such finesse and refinement. Spice, mid season cherries on the finish. Long finish. Soft tannins and such nice energy. — 4 years ago
Davide makes a killer Barbera. Fantastic nose of cherries and berries. Lots of spice. Very friendly. Sense of more depth than normal inexpensive Barbera. Nice richness and so much cleansing acidity with lovely fruit and terrific balance. Exactly what I want in a Barbera. — 6 years ago

Vintage 2016 | Luca di Tomaso | undoubtly the most difficult wine I drank this year, lovely difficulties. Spicy cherries in nose, a tannin giant, leave this wine in the cellar for the next 3-5 years. To curb this I put it in the decanter 7+ hours. It tastes rich. Rich and stubborn. Such a promise for the future. Nice minerality. Paired with a spicy Texas stew with beef, beans and mais. ❤️ the SAGRANTINO wines. — a year ago

Nose is yeasty and fine with lemon peel and lemon flesh. Airy and mineral. Elegant with a fine mousse and nice fleshiness. Easy to go down and has good acidity. — 5 months ago
