Small, family owned winery farmed organically by hand. The riserva has 3 years in oak and could use a little more time to integrate, but already it’s very elegant and aromatic. Beautiful and soulful wine showing very primary right now with raspberry, cherry, balsamic, a bit of leather and licorice with air — 2 months ago
Superb herbal, mineral, dark red fruit, long finish. — 12 days ago
Perfumed red spice and cinnamon.
Medium to high acidity. Medium to high tannins.
Baking spices under current. Dark cherries. Slight astringency on the back note. Classic Sangiovese.
Pretty. Bracing. Fun to drink. Probably attains some balance as it opens up — a month ago

2021 vintage. A bit of everything. Esteemed producer. Excellent nose. Front-palate richness. Mid-palate power and presence. Pleasantly astringent and beyond substantial finish. I usually eschew Barbera d'Alba for the resto list but couldn't deny this one. Picked up two cases and may pick up more to have laying around for 1.5-2 years. At the ridiculous resto price of $26.67, I can't afford not to. So delicious. 01.29.25. — 9 days ago
