The 2021 Unlitro, presented in a fun 1-liter bottle, is a very pretty, aromatic red to drink over the next few years. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, cinnamon, dried flowers and orange peel all grace this light to medium-bodied red. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2023)

Grenache and Carignan grown about 300m above sea level along the Tuscan coast. Fresh muddled purple fruits enlivened by VA, gravelly mineral tones, salty finish. Crushable AF, but with pleasant lingering tannins.

A super light and fresh blend of grenache, carignan, and alicante bouschet. A natural wine so the slightly funky forest floor notes definitely come through in the aromas and taste. Some minerals and cherries on the nose and definitely tart cherries on the palate followed by a chalky lingering mouthfeel. Pushing the border of my limit for natty funk, but should pair wonderfully with pasta! #gotm2020

Tingly, natural wine. Earthy black cherry, red grape fruits with an almost woodsy note that belies the amphora elevage. Good depth and decent length. Fun, quaffable and yet intriguing.
