| | Tasted by ShakinSwedens on 8/28/2023: This would make an excellent restaurant wine and reminds me of Cupano’s “vino rosso di tavola”- the perfect way to access that balsamic depth of sangiovese maturity in a relatively young bottling. There should be a touch (no more than 15%) of cab Sauv and petit Verdot to add body and depth here. I like it- a gluggable easy going but complex spicy and interesting wine. Bravo Casanova Di Neri for creating this “sweet spot” PQR wine that doesn’t need decanting, opening early or long cellaring to deliver the pleasure expected from Montalcino. (512 views) |
| | Tasted by jjhsom on 8/2/2023 & rated 91 points: Fuller bodied and more blue/black fruits than most Sangiovese plus a little less acidic. I suspect it has some bordeaux varietals in it. Enjoyable before dinner and w/pizza. Good value. (469 views) |
| | Tasted by 64cards@bellsouth.net on 4/28/2023 & rated 91 points: Aromas of black fruit. A bit earthy. Nice balance with medium tannins and acid. Opens up nicely. Very pleasant wine. Could have aged longer. (580 views) |
| | Tasted by F_&_M on 3/11/2023 & rated 90 points: Really enjoyable! Interesting (which is high paise from me!), still young, with many years to go. (588 views) |

| | Tasted by nzinkgraf on 2/23/2023: Raspberry and plum fruit palate. Fresh and medium tannin. A light barn-ish aroma that blows off. A structured little number. (333 views) |
| | Tasted by davidandrose on 2/4/2023 & rated 92 points: Served w Rose's pizza class. This definitely opened during the 2 hours of air provided, but could still stand for more time. While 90% Sangiovese, the syrah and cabernet sauv components are evident, adding weight and depth. Could easily work with red meat; after 5 hours this has softened considerably and is really solid. Bumps from a 91 to 92. (316 views) |
| | Tasted by ptconner on 1/8/2023 & rated 90 points: Great value wine. Cherry notes. Ready to drink now. PNP with evolution over about 30 minutes. Goes great with pizza. (270 views) |
| | Tasted by FoodAndDINK on 10/31/2022 & rated 90 points: Like a baby Brunello; nice tart cherry, maybe lacking a little in acidity and finish. Evolved nicely with 30 minutes in the glass. Pretty solid for $20. (331 views) |

| | Tasted by Madera16 on 2/2/2022: Yum, another great vintage. There’s an earthy terpinic freshness — cineole, borneol, etc — that adds lift and character to the nose. Rich palate with high extract and good grip, not too strong, very front of tongue. Bordeaux overtones. Great PQR at $18. (620 views) |
