Opened prior to service. The 2021 “Scipio” pours a ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, tobacco, purple flowers, capsicum, warm spices and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A tasty Super Tuscan that celebrates Cabernet Franc (100%). Drink now through 2040. Bottle 570/1200.

Black current and vegatel (slight bell pepper, but not like California Cab's from 2011) with a hint of violet. Lovely bottle!

Elena Pozzolini, the winemaker, explained that Scipio was the General that defeated Hannibal. This wine, clearly defeated all other wines tonight. Floral notes on the nose. Black fruit with a leathery texture and a long elegant finish violets and licorice.

Deep, spicy, vibrant cab franc with great integration of oak characteristics and well resolved tannin. Stony minerality; slightly hot, but otherwise fantastic
