Pure, red-fruited Sangiovese, almost Pinot-like on the nose. Taking a sip reveals it at definitively Italian though, with a bracing tannic structure that speaks of the best Tuscan wine. Edges of VA and Brett add spice without distracting from the purity of fruit and florality. Open and giving now, but with a solid 20+ in front of it. Would love to try these wines with some significant development. Great, underexposed producer.

A lovely old school biodynamic Brunello, made out of Sangiovese Grosso, which are aged for 36-40 month. Bought and drunk in a wine bar in Florence, this one experienced an accelerated maturation. The huge wine cellar of this famous wine shop is simply too warm, approx 23-24 c (summer time), vs the ideal 14-15 c. The wine was still lovely, but with limited aging potential. The color was deep red, with a light touch of brown. Nose lightly oxidized, barnyard, black cherries, dry leaves, tobacco, leather, earthiness, plums, full body, firm well integrated tannins. Long finish. I wish It would had been more fresh... My score 90, drink this one now, a well stored one perhaps to 2025
