Back label on this 2021 bottling identifies Saint Laurent as the varietal and claims "the wine is part of the project 'Primi Vini' for grapes that ripen early, enabling the wine to be put on the market earlier. I don't know if this means it is a Nouveau style/carbonic maceration or just refers to the precociousness of the variety.
Inky purple. Boisterously fruity nose with a crushable balance that invites another sip. YUM. — a year ago
Drank at Siamo Napoli in San Diego. Loved it — 4 years ago
Man the Appasiemento is really showing in this wine. Yowza. Tar, roses, raisins. Smells almost like Lessona Sforzato. Really weird. Some nice older library books, old wood and sultana. What a crazy nose. I like it. Palate is much more classic than the nose suggests. Big, ripe but also classy and elegant with dark cherry fruit and wood shop shavings. Luscious and juicy but my only issue is it’s drying and the tannins outpace the fruit. Drink now versus aging it longer. — 3 years ago

Light, very interesting — 4 years ago
Decanted for 3 hours. Opens with ripe blackberries and black cherries accented by forest floor and some cocoa, hint of floral notes. Has held onto its acidity. Tannins softened and nicely integrated. Beautifully structured. Long fruit finish. Outstanding. — 4 years ago
