Smooth upfront with a burst in the middle on the roof of your mouth of dark fruit berries. Soft delicate finish.

This is delicious. Aged to perfection and hitting on all the right cylinders, I like the note that another reviewer put - a "juicier Brunello." That's just it - for $32, you're getting a mouthful of red fruit, soy, leather, black currant, roses, and a delightfully rich, smooth finish. This is a knockout and one of the finest example of Vino Nobile I've encountered. Bravo!

15.5/20 (88/100)

Кора кустарников, кофе, теплая земля, черешня. Тело умеренно полное, вкус полный, суш ягоды, чай, пряности, замша. Хорошая кислотность. Нет однозначной фруктовости или зеленых ароматов, все гармонично.

sampled this at total wine, decanted for 2 hours. tastes like a juicier Brunello. Decanting now to drink with grilled lamb tonight.

We bought this at the winery in Montepulciano in 2016, enjoyed for our 14th anniversary in 2020. Strong vanilla, wood smoke, slate, berries on the nose; savory, river rock, tannic, dry on the palette.

Fabulous leather and tobacco notes on the nose with cherry and roasted nuts on the palate - almost blood like. Rivals more costly Brunellos.

Became bitter after time. I really tasted the oak at the end. Celebrated a great evening though.

Earthy plum and strawberry flavours, dark ruby colour. Balanced tannins, though lacking a bit of character despite oak ageing. Good weeknight wine to go with pizza or pasta
