Wonderful rosso. Earthy. Mushrooms, soil and cedar pushing through dark layers of fruit and jam. Balanced and integrated. — 11 days ago

Opened and poured into a decanter about an hour before service; no formal notes. This is only my second experience with Padelletti which, continues to be somewhat elusive here in middle-America. Based on my previous experience, I expected this to be very traditional (and it was) but I also expected this to show more of the hallmarks of 2015. Instead, it had a similar elegance and austerity that I recollected from the 2012 that I enjoyed several years back. The quality is certainly there however, it is somewhat reticent and really made me work for it. Be careful not to pair this with fare that’s too heavy. This is a wine to sit with; to ponder. If I had another bottle, I would hold for another 5+ before enjoying again. — 7 months ago

Ripe, juicy, big cherry notes with gritty, firm tannins. Very enjoyable. — 3 years ago

9.1

Beautiful aromas of soft sour cherries, earth, graphite and lilac. Young and bright on the palate red fruits lead to spice, black pepper, anise and wet earth. The finish shows fine tannins and bright acidity. Delicious and perfect with our pastas! — 4 years ago
