Much more evolution than the Rosso 13. Ripe dark cherries, black plum just a hint of light red fruit, still a decent wood presence on the finish, softer minerals, better acidity.

Pure and fresh. An upgraded version of the Rosso. Red fruit with more weight and noticeable tannins. But dances bright on palate. Very classic. $71 retail

2008 Normale paired with 1994 Normale. No Riserva made in 2008, so best fruit, tightest-smallest bunches all included in Normale. Great showing for vintage. Not Riserva. Adore the freshness and elegance.

Terrific Brunello with tastes of dark cherries and some leather. Smooth finish to this medium bodied wine. The tannins were smoothed out. We had the 2008 Vintage at L'Artuzi on 7/8/16.
