Very nice barbaresco. Haven’t had this producer before. Quite accessible at this age. Pretty classic Nebbiolo color and profile. Seamless with nice fruit and earth and leather. Good acid and a long finish. Great pairing with a steak and veal sorrentina at campagnola. Enjoyed quite a bit!

Probably would have been higher with a decant, but so it goes. — a month ago

Medium body, yellow with hints of green, not a ton of aroma, but nice light floral notes on the front palate, citrus and green apple mid-palate and Smarties/powdery candy at the end. — a year ago

A lot of funky mushroom umami of both nose and mouth, sherry characteristics, fruit compote! Fantastic but very near end of life. Birth year wines are getting harder to come by! — 4 years ago

Dark ruby with notes of dark cherries, forest floor, and plum. On the bud, cherries and stewed fruits. Nicely balanced and smooth long finish. Great from the restaurant balcony at Le Vecchie Mura in San Gimignano!!! — 6 months ago

Deep Ruby color with berry fruit, fragrant spice and earthy cedar notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry, plum, and cacao with notes of floral spice. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, tobacco and cedar wrapped in an earthy herb mineral spice character. Starting to drink well now, will age. — 5 months ago

The more I drink this the more I like it. The name is what caught my eye. I love stories of the Knights Templar. This is light bodied, notes of blackberry and plum with slight tannins. — 4 years ago
