2021 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Delicious, yet $93.10 a bottle resto cost so tuff to swallow. Did not suck but so many other beautiful Rossos at a fourth of the price. Nice glimpse/daytrip into the lux Biondi-Santi world tho. 7.8.26 — 16 days ago

2024 vintage: fresh, acidic, some peach, lime, and apricot notes. Some minerality. Long bitter almond finish. Paired well with light salad, goat cheese and apricot preserve. Perfect summer sipper or a pre-meal palate prepper — 4 months ago

Your experts need to look again here. I never look for Pinot Grigio but after being given this bottle, and finishing it over two tastings, it is worth searching for because it is an 8.9-means you will get more than your money’s worth here.
Dry, perfect with fish, light citrus flavor, minimal lemon bouquet, lovingly on the palate. Find it, enjoy it, don’t put it down. But take it with you as a gift. — 2 years ago

This sample was given to me. Tannins are resolved to the point of almost nonexistent. A fair amount of acid with what little fruit was dark and baked. Cherries leather and tobacco leaf. Darn yummy but I wish I had some food with it. — 4 months ago

The oak has integrated from my previous note in February 2017 where the influence of oak Barriques was overly present. Sangiovese is not enhanced by too much oak in my opinion and is best matured in large Botti like I said in my previous note like Biondi Santi. Red cherry and earth notes finishing with powdery tannins. Coming together. — 6 months ago

I’ve been so looking forward to experiencing one of my bottles of the 2018 Margherita Otto and decided tonight was the night since it was -17°F here in Omaha. While a relative new-comer as far as Barolo producers are concerned, Alan’s approach leans heavily towards the traditional. Until now, his Barolo remains a blend of Nebbiolo from different communes in an effort to make a more complete expression of the zone. The first few vintages incorporated fruit from Monteforte, Serralunga and Castiglione Falletto. This vintage was the first to incorporate some fruit from the Vignane MGA in Barolo.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. There was some evolution but it was consistent, with no noticeable dip in enjoyment. The 2018 pours a deep ruby with a translucent core and a slightly garnet rim; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, youthful with a pleasant mix of red and black fruits: bright Morello cherry, strawberries, raspberries, Marionberries, pomegranate, roses, dried herbs, tar, orange peel and dry gravelly earth. On the palate, bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with a touch of anise and red rope licorice thing. Just lovely and definitely a producer I'll be following. Drink now with some patience and over the next 20 years. Fewer than 4000, 750ml bottles were produced. — 3 years ago
