So good! A gift from my friends wedding in Tuscany. Medium flavor with no reaction.

Dark cherries, smoky leather, pretty tannic. Interesting balance of elements for this style. Can’t tell if I’m too inexperienced/unsophisticated to fully grasp the balance, or if they’re presenting too sequentially vs. harmonically. I like it, but I expected something different. Worth trying again with a different dish.

I haven't had many Italian wines, but this one is good. Reminds me of a very light Pinot Noir.

Fairly smooth, but needs more time in the bottle. I'll buy a few more and put them away for a few years and come back to them. Subtle notes of blackberry and cherry. Very drinkable, but just think it'll be better with time. Reasonable price. Enjoy!

Good. But, not as good as Tommasi's Ripasso.

Nice. Went well with sausage and shrimp pasta. Would drink again. Call it an 8 for Italian 7 compared to Napas we drink more of.
