Nose has black cherry compote, recently sanded cedar, muddy garden soil and wet green herbals.

Palate has partially dried black cherry, blackberry, over-ripe black currant, crushed slate, medium tannins show this wine is still youthful.

A delicious wine showing lovely concentration and aromatics, rustic in style but high-minded as well. Drinking fantastic tonight, likely much better 2024+, might be hard to keep the remaining corks sealed for that long...

Decanted 3H.

Gorgeous dusty cherries on the nose. Nice pure lipstick like cherry stank. So good. Really pure, bright and lovely aromatic intensity. Palate is juicy and had a nice structure to it. Nice mouthfeel and good rusticity. Charming and rustic. We need wines like this.

A lovely wine and another crazy value for the price from Fass selections. Excellent pairing with fennel and garlic rubbed pork chops on the grill. Lots of cherry. Quite a refined palate with some surprising elegance to the fruit. But still a wine you wouldn’t be surprised to drink at a roadside taverna. Great acid and a long finish. Can’t wait to try the Brunellos from here given the quality of the Rosso.

Not a baby brunello. High altitude elegant Rosso. Sweet fruit. Cherry and licorice so well balanced. Really good. Bought from Fass Selections.

This is very good. Doubtful it's available in the United States. Enjoy it in Siena!
