Very intriguing. Touch of organic reduction and charcoal, rocky beach. Took this home. — 5 months ago

Extremely dark and overwhelming. Very ripe, bold but has a good acidity balance. The bottle is too heavy. The 22nd edition — 6 months ago

What a wine! Semi dried ripe cherries in nose. Balanced and mild tanins. Line, plums, dark cherries and a pinch of sour dark bread on plateau. Palette rich, medium rounded and developed nicely within breathing.

Comparing to vintages 2021 and 2022 much less sweet and fruity. Feels like more matured than it is.

Great itself and paired to smoked meat. — 2 years ago

Dark and smoky, the 2013 Cretarossa shows ashen stone, blackberries, sage, underbrush and a spritz of tangerine. It’s silky in texture yet lifted and elegant, with a wave of black fruits coasting along a saline core of acids and minerals. Energy remains high throughout the grippy tannins. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2021) — 5 years ago

An earthy, savory, complex Lambrusco! I highly recommend it for those on the fence about Lambrusco — it’s a natural wine with some cherry flavors but it is not too fizzy or fruity. — 2 years ago

just a great wine with depths...still needed a 1hour decant to open up...a first for me with Aglianico... why have I not had this before ? — 7 years ago

Lots of tar and good acidity, soft tannins. Tobacco, dried roses, a little black pepper. Good chilled and opened up nicely during dinner. — 8 years ago

An exceptional aglianico that was a perfect pairing with a tasting menu of Tuscan and Roman food. A little VA - but not in a distracting way! — 5 months ago

Even better 4 1/2 years after the first time I tried it. This wine/vintage over-performs. Comparable to some of the higher end riservas. — a year ago

Agree with @Chris MacLean : peppery. I’ve not had many wines like this, and loved the expansion of my experience. — 4 years ago

木苺とカシス。アルコール度数14.5なので、当然といえば当然だが、アルコール感、インキーなニュアンス。
まとまり感が素晴らしく艶やかで滑らか。

Mama mía! Bella vino! Rich, complex, well-suited for pasta, and when you quaff the Cinque, you’ll know why it’s rumored to be served in Heaven. — 7 years ago
