Decidedly new world style with predominant new oak but the fruit is so gorgeous and black/blue with very distinct pure cab flavor - ripe yet very slightly herbal - that it stands in my mind as a great wine and vintage no matter the place.

Old world style Cabernet. Nice mix of fruit up front but with a typical Italian formidable velvety tannin finish. A very unique wine

Incredible. Glad I held onto it for a few years but wish I had another to age further! Cab from Montalcino. A+

This wine is insanely complete! I'm not sure that I have had a better wine, ever. 2005 vintage.

Ultra-ripe, oak spice and stewed black cherries. Delicious, despite it's non-traditional style

Great quality. Great wine. More austere (without being thin) than '05. Solid.

Haven't had Pietradonice at this age. Rich and elegant. Cannot wait to sell the next two!

Distinct nose - not like Bordeaux or Napa - explodes in the glass with dark fruit and nicely integrated tannic structure. Still quite young albeit a pleasurable wine in 2023. A definite buy for ones cellar
