Great small producer in montalcino coming just east of the town and around 10 hectares. This is their modern new oaked riserva but the rest of their wines are traditional, grittier and delicious. This is very healthy but not really what I look for throwin all that junk all that junk inside that trunk

Visited the winery on 6.27.17 in Montalcino and spent an hour with son Fabio. The Riserva was good. Nice structure.

Pairing well the Tuscan Cuisine...Obviously. But the aroma is really what I like about this wine.

Komplex med toner av massa röda bär och lite paprika. Sträv men lite eldig.
