In-laws brought this home from their trip to Sienna. Absolutely fantastic but the finish is short and not as earthy as I hoped. Still top tier. — 5 months ago

When I had this 9 years ago, it was a tannin bomb. Undrinkable. But now it’s lovely. Velvety, leather and tobacco, rich and delicious. — 2 months ago

Opened and decanted about an hour prior to service. The 2016 San Valentino is a blend of mostly Sangiovese mixed with some local varieties. It pours a deep ruby purple with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the palate, the wine is developing with fascinating notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, exotic spices, wild underbrush, old leather and rich woody notes, some VA and dried rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ viscosity. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and lovely and despite the concentration of flavors, surprisingly nimble and super versatile with the variety of fare on the table including sturgeon in a miso with noodles (it kinda blew my mind actually). Sublime. Drink now with patience and through 2036. — 4 months ago
