Wow, dark fruit, taste of oak and old grounds. Very accessible, combined with cheese is a good marriage.

Deep Ruby with aromas of wild berry fruits and smoky herb spice, made from mostly Corvina grapes. On the palate flavors of ripe black cherry, blackberry, dried floral herbs and nutty notes. Medium body with lively acidity, fine tannins on medium finish ending with cacao, tobacco and ripe fruit. Drink to enjoy now, minimal aging benefit.

Deeply alluring with dusty purple-tinged florals, sweet spices and black currants. The 2017 Ripasso is silky with cool-toned textures, further accentuated by vibrant acidity. There’s beautiful symmetry and persistence here, coming across as powerful yet remaining energetic throughout. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, January 2021)

Intense sour cherry, not indicative of the varietal. Always been less fond of this than it's lesser cousin, 'Il Sestante' from the pianeti vineyard. I just find this one too tart for what it should be, and why would I pay more for something I enjoy less? I love tommasi and everything they make. I don't love this one.
