Absolute banger. A go-to Gavi. — 4 years ago
This has to be one of the most refined and finessed sangiovese I've tried. Think Hermitage or Saint Joseph levels of refinement and balance. — 17 hours ago
Bright gold with coppery overtones. Unctuous nose of honey, dried apple., and clay! Palate is full and complex yielding layers of dried apple, white flowers, burnt marzipan, hay, and cinnamon bark. Acidity is firm from entry to finish. Finish is long and recalls the earthier earlier flavors. Wow. I may not think of Vermentino the same way. A complex, layered white with enough "stuff" to compliment a wide range of foods from seafood to poultry to (yes) lighter cuts of beef. Drink now through 2027. — 3 years ago

Needs some time to open up, then black cherry and tar, lively and deep. — 23 days ago
Bright light medium ruby . Quite aromatic with strawberry , rose , spicy red cherry and raspberry on the nose . On the palate quite fresh and fruit driven , with those strawberry and red cherry notes , balanced acidity and quite light ripe tannins, balanced alcohol . Ok length. For early consumption but well made with good freshness and a lively fruit and floral personality. Drink now and over the next couple of years. — a month ago

For a Sangiovese that’s not “ super Tuscan”, there is evident oak. But this Jr.* package is finely knit, all in balance.
Lots of chocolate, mint, leather, dark cherries and oak tannins seductively put together. More of an adventure for those with some Sangiovese experience than an introduction. With Chicken livers & Garam Masala very nice.
