Dense, sinewed nose full of sweet, dried violet and smoky black fruit, opulent, dense, chocolatey and complex, cab franc in a full throttle style. Palate is very dense, rich and black fruited, needs time. Usually prefer a more savoury style cab franc but lots to like here.

I’ve been after this bottle for about a year; a great friend’s recommendation planted the urge to search.
On the sight it is an inky dark color with a watery rim. On the nose I get black cherry with a hint of dark chocolate. On the pallet I get the dark fruits followed by rich earthy flavors. It is full bodied, high alcohol, with fortress like tanning structure and the finish goes on for several minutes (literally).
Blew my mind. You know how they say Cabernet Franc’s offspring are Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon? Well, this bottle holds that truth! 100% Cab Franc; the producer is certified biodynamic, unfiltered. 2011 vintage is drinking great right about now, could also be cellared for another ten years easily.

An outstandig wine. Needs to be waited and opened at the right time.
A 92+ easily reaching 95 or more!
Even a "bad" vintage such as 2014 is showing unbelievably interesting characters, generally based on freshness.

Biodynamic. Black fruit, tabacco and black pepper. Nicely blanced. A beautiful drinking wine. 100 percent cabernet franc. I highly recommend this wine to anyone looking for a varietal not seen too often from Italy.
