Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits, spice and toasty oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with spice, herbs, cacao, tobacco and toasty tones from 18 months of oak aging. Full ripe tannins you can bite into, long finish ending with fruit and an earthy toasty spice character. Nice! Will age!

Still good, but heading downhill. I think this is the oldest bottle I’ve had… that wasn’t spoiled.

Aug 23rd, 2022This Gran Selezione is only produced in outstanding vintages, aged for 36 months. Dark Ruby with aromas of red fruits and earthy spice on the nose. On the palate ripe cherries, plum and dark fruit come with cinnamon spice, tobacco and cacao. Well developed tight tannins, good balance, sweet oak, long finish ending with a jolt of earthy spice. A tremendous value. Outstanding, but decant first!

Medium garnet color, Medium tannins, plum and perhaps stewed prunes. Nose is really delightful. Not a rounded wine - hits too few notes. Nice when cooking short ribs on a wet, rainy Friday in November.

I think we snobs have a tendency to overlook this. A stellar round balanced Chianti. Pop n pour, awesome.

Nice. But not going out of my way to find this wine again - not a great value. Revisiting a year later - 1/20/19 - I find the wine better integrated and am starting to enjoy it. Upped the rating to 89 but feel it will probably go higher with more age.
