The nose on the 2015 Monte di Grazia is incredibly fresh yet also packed with zesty bright red berry fruits, as citrus-inspired floral tones and hints of wild herbs come together, creating a lifted expression. On the palate, soft textures are contrasted by tart red and black fruits, as vibrant acids make the mouth water, giving life to spicy inner floral tones. The finish is long yet buzzing, with energy and freshness, resonating on savory herbs, bright red fruits, and hints of fine tannin. This is already so easy to like, yet it will coast effortlessly for ten years or more in the cellar. (Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2020)

Excellent. Funk on the nose; ripe cherries and purple flowers on the palate. Wonders are in store as this wine opens up: cassis, slate, licorice, a bit of stinky cheese and aged balsamic vinegar. Decant.

Dark cassis, plum, stewed figs, inky grippy, mouthwatering acids coming from the sides, salty grip.

Darker impenetrable, herbacious, lavender interlayered in a melange of bright fresh red berries, softer mouthwatering acids, heat and licorice on the grippy finish.

Smell like a stable full of mature cherries and plum in a pleasant kind of way, the acidity dominates the sip, it s focused on the tongue , then slate and licorice appears. The grip is as impressiveas the "beva".
