vintage 2019 | Exemplary sangiovese | Morelinno di Scansano never dissapointed me | The more air the better, my last glass with 48 h aeration became velvety with a hint of truffle | paired with Ottolenghi’s mushroom lasagne — 2 months ago

Had this at Bern’s Steak House in dessert room. Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits and floral notes wrapped in a frizzante. On the palate flavors of peach, apricot and mango with notes of white floral. Good balance with lively yet refrained acidity, medium+ finish ending with sweet ripe fruit character. — 4 years ago

Pleasantly surprised with this wine... first time having a Vespolina wine. This grape is native to Piedmont and has Nebbiolo grape in its ancestry. Only 12.5% alcohol, classically-made acid-driven red with soft tannins. The tannins grew stronger in the glass I was having 24 hours later. For $24, this is a super value wine I have had in a long time. — 5 years ago

Light due to the fact of being well balanced in flavor and body, perfect with bisteca a la fiorentina and oven baked potatoes. — 6 years ago

Pale pink / red reminds me of the colors of the sky at sunset. Refreshing and bright, perfect follow up to a day spent crabbing on SFOB. Acidic and excellent when paired with Dungeness. — 9 years ago

This is a really good wine but definitely not a crowd pleaser. It starts off with melon and then turns to something like a dry, not-sweet mead. Cool and interesting. — 6 years ago

Feel like it may have been in a hibernation period, but this showed all the classic qualities you expect from an Amarone. — 9 years ago

First, zibbibo is fun to say! And turns out fun to drink, too. Acidic and fruity, bright and fresh. A bit of structure from the skin contact. Drank with sushi which was perfect — 4 years ago

8.9

Very Sangiovese-like, bright, sing-songy and cheerful with nice cherry fruit. Nice dustiness and slight note of lilies on the mouthfeel and good pepperiness to counterbalance a bit of a syrupy, low cost note. — 10 years ago
