Not a wine of great depth or complexity, but of really nice balance and a great weeknight dinner companion. Nose has bright cherry and lifted minerality, as well as a bit of spice. Slender and juicy in the mouth. Great acidity and very smooth-textured.

Vintage 2015 - Made from Nerello Mascalese. Recognizable by its very light colour. You got to taste good to appreciate: good acidity, a hint of strawberries and good balance. Not mind blowing but some refinement. Good Italian choice for Burgundy fans.

Never tasted anything like this. Very earthy and savory. Sour cherries and iron. Very light silky feel like a Pinot noir.

I utterly love this style of winemaking. Like good Païs. Fresh, red berries, whole bunch notes, really tastefully put together, the oak is restrained.

Beautifully balanced wine. Tannins were a little uneven but the everything else was amazing! Lot of red fruits on the palette.

Light color, good structure but not aggressively tannic, malic acid, some subtle citrus, volcanic rock on the finish, not a stunner but very pleasant drinking.
