Pretty stunning stuff. I can see why people call it the Lafite of Tuscany. Polished but definitely old world. Beautiful nose of pencil lead, cassis and tarry underbrush. Dark, deep, tannic and complex. Needs time and lots of it

Brand new but still fun. This meant to be aged, I know we’re wrong to drink it so soon, but we enjoyed it thoroughly knowing what it may become

Appealing on the nose, but the wine benefited from some time in the glass to allow an initial metallic element to dissipate. The wine was rich with notes of smoke and typical Sangiovese fruit all well integrated. Very enjoyable all in!

2013 vintage on 22.11.20 Great nose. Intriguing, inviting. And however very well made the so many times called balsamic acidity is at this stage disturbing me.
Next bottle? 2025+

This is more of a Bordeaux blend in taste than a super Tuscan. The cab, Merlot and petit Verdot mix crosses borders and appellations in delicious ways.
