Light-to-medium body; near-perfect acidity that goes beautifully with stuffed portobello mushrooms (spinach & ricotta stuffing). Nice, firm tannins and ripe cherries with anise, with the oak coming through at the end. A little earthy in a pleasant way pairs nicely with mushrooms. Would be GORGEOUS with mushroom risotto and asparagus. I imagine it would be beautiful with red meat, too. #pairwithfood — 5 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2012 Riserva pours a pale garnet with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, dried orange peel, dried herbs and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Delicious, crushable and a smart pairing with simple pasta with red sauce. Drink now through 2032+ — a month ago
