Big cherries and slight alcohol on the nose that comes off as flowers on the palate, then, with air, the nose opens to figs, plums, blackberries, brown sugar. The cherries are super sweet, and there's light spice, fennel, nutmeg, and light leather on the palate, and a cherry skin or overripe fruit, barnyardy-savory bitter edge on the finish that I am very happy about. Some mouth-coating tannins on here, which soften, but certainly do not go away, the tannins give it structure the way that minerals do elsewhere. I don't think they take from this nimble wine, and they give it a character of its own: rustic and highly fragrant. — 4 years ago
L'ho aspettato un po' nel bicchiere ma ne è valsa la pena, al naso note balsamiche e sotto bosco, nota selvatica frutta poca, cassis.. Splendido in bocca, vivo di freschezza , tannino levigato elegante ma di carattere.. — 8 years ago

Wild Visciola cherry-infused wine on a Umbrian Sangiovese base, with intense tart morello cherry flavors, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla with a port-like texture. Truly delicious. Mildly sweet and pleasing, long rich cherry finish. Pair it with vanilla gelato, dark-dark chocolate, and sheeps milk blue cheeses. Divine. — 8 years ago
