Nice blend of tannins, fruit, spice for a meal spanning seafood and meat. Would have again.

Great, medium body and wonderful fruits. Tannins are so young it’s hard to get much but you can tell it is very well put together. Cherries, unripe plums, light earth and wood notes.

Private tasting at Cellar Benanti. Very nice and probably needs a little more aging.

Nerello Mascalese. Dark in colour, big and bold, animalistic, especially compared to the Rovittello. But very good in it’s own style. Maybe a bit too expensive but that is very subjective
