This Ripasso went well with tagliata and steak it did need some time to open but when it did the fruit a the raisin aftertaste was really enjoyable. This was a 2020 vintage and I think it might even be better if left for a few more years. — 10 months ago
Liked it better earlier than later in the bottle. Solid. Good. Would receive again as a gift. — a year ago
Punchy dark cherry, juicy. — 7 months ago
Yet another ripasso. Vibrant and bright on the palate, med-high acidity, bright red fruits - tart cherries, loads of it. Some herbacious funk (cinnamon and anise) towards the end of the Softer body than other ripassos with med-low tannins, mellows out gently without falling off a cliff, but also not particularly long-bodied. Definitely a much more elegant ripasso than a lot of the others I've had. — 10 months ago

Nice tannins. Medium body. — 6 months ago
So talkative in the dried fruit realm—prunes, figs, dried cranberry and figs. The palate has a super texture, slightly grabby tannins but in the way you want to be grabbed, like at the end of a hug on a really good first date. GRAB ME tannins! These do, but politely, and you want them to because they are fine-grained if assertive. The dried fruit plays nicely with cocoa powder and freeze-dried espresso granules (smell them, you’ll see). REALLY good. It grows more herbal with time, too. — 9 months ago

A lovely complement to spaghetti and meatballs with Fra Diavolo sauce. Soft mouth feel and dark ruby color. After decanting and breathing for an hour the dark cherry and chocolate really pop. — 2 months ago
