Excellent — 19 days ago
A more leaner rendition of this varietal, but in a good way. Nose displays clean cinnamon and toast. Palate is broad and expansive, yet light on its feet. A kiss of vanilla pod and black fruits conclude an excellent presentation. This is an intellectual wine.
Bivio, Montclair, NJ. — a month ago
Blend of primarily Sangiovese (70%) along with Sagrantino (15%) and Merlot (15%). Medium ruby color with purple highlights and a garnet rim. Aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate, violets, leather, forest floor and dried herbs. Black cherry, cassis, pomegranate flavors with additional hints of tobacco, black licorice and wet soil. Medium earthy/spicy finish and a grainy texture. Some grip and power but nicely balanced. Pleasant rustic quality. Solid value. — a day ago
Lighter than the pagliaro, and not as good but still very good. — 2 months ago
Let her open up a bit. Rustic and medium bodied, earthy, just like a Umbria wine should taste — 13 days ago
