This wine reminded me of just how great Italian wines are. I imagine a family in Sicily humbly making fantastic wine and selling it at a price the working man can afford every day. — 4 years ago
Fun n funky. On the nose, dried flowers and blackberries. In the mouth, cracked pepper, juicy ripe blackberries, mouth-coating tannins and moderate acidity. Medium long finish. (Side note - whomever said in their review -in Italian- that there were "no tannins" in this must be used to 1 year old Barolo, because this wine certainly had plenty) — 7 years ago
Surprisingly fresh & bright with dark cherry and tomato leaf and (nice) animalistic notes.
Bright acidity on the palate, (still) quite chewy tannins, and, again surprisingly, pure dark, pure fruit. Still continues to open up (!) and is, after some time, very elegant. A truly nice one! — 6 months ago
Decisamente un Verdicchio sopra le righe. Il territorio è quello di Matelica, meno famoso ma disseminato di ottime cantine e grandi vini.
Pieno, rotondo, fresco e minerale. Note di caramella all'anice, mou e mandarino. Bocca piena e succosa, un sorso ti appaga per diversi minuti, ma poi ti dice che non basta e ne vuoi ancora, fino a che@la bottiglia nonnsi svuota. Annata 2011 — 8 years ago

1985 vintage. Still so alive. Raisinated fruit, tobacco, leather, grippy tannin. Tons of secondary notes. Powerful wine. — 8 years ago

Initially this showed a surprising amount of development. Became more elegant over days. Showing rose and salt on day 5. — 15 days ago
