  Medium body, bright ruby colour 14% abv. Impressive aroma of black and blue fruits, leather, spices and flowers. Black cherry and plum on palate, grippy tannins and juicy acidity following by rounding finish of good length. Delicate and well balanced but very complex, charm and harmonies wine. Food friendly, well pairing to risotto ai funghi porcini secchi. Still requires aeration, open two hours ahead. Serve 16ºC - 18ºC. Drink now and the next 8/10 years.

  Drank very well. More of a black cherry profile with dense concentrated fruit. But there’s plenty of structure and freshness here. Sturdy stuff.

  Quite ripe/modern for this cuvee. Definitely more so than the 2016. Served blind and I thought it had some cabernet.

  Very good producer. Barnyard , leather. IMO a little bit high acidity even for acidity lovers

  (100% Sangiovese, 14% Alkohol) Rubinrot. Fruchtige Nase, Kirsche, Brombeeren, Granatapfel, Pflaume, Zimt, Oregano, steinig kühl, frisch anmutend. Im Gaumen druckvoll dicht, markante Säure, fein verwobenes Tannin, sehr elegant würzig, mit Granatapfel umd Limonenzesten im Finale. Ab sofort ein Hit, mit Reserven bis 2033
