Rustic nose with soil, dried red fruit. Medium minus body, medium plus alcohol. Sangiovese dominates in a Chianti style-- little complexity. A bit bitter on the palate with cranberry. Medium plus tannins. Short finish.

From the originators of Brunello, this super is named after a famous volcanic rock. And it’s true to those origins. It’s strong and earthy, but not too dirty and old. It has those leather and tobacco notes that I want but it’s balanced with a beautiful floral arrangement, primarily violet and wildflower.

I’m enjoying this way too much for $30.

From .375. Decent red fruit, good acidity, fair length. Like almost every other nondescript Italian red, it’s a good pasta wine. Loses points for distracting VA. Overpriced.

Mmmm, the nose is addictive. Leather and dried red fruit, cardamom and plum. Plush black plum on the palate with some new sweet oak on the back end. Quite nice 100% Sangiovese.
