A fine wine, still fresh and showing the characteristics of age.

70% Sangiovese/15% Merlot/15% Sagrantino. When I read that Michel Rolland consulted here, I got worried. But this is very nice, well balanced, and definitely Sangiovese-forward. Translucent garnet color, a touch of licorice and vanilla on the nose. Plenty of acidity, and cherry lozenge dominates the palate along with some mocha. The tannins are silky, so this is drinking well today. Good stuff, and a reminder that I haven't given enough attention to the wines of Umbria.

To the nose, it's an explosion of scents: wildflowers, red fruits, and a touch of nutmeg. On the palate, it immediately presents itself as dry and fresh, with just the right softness that contrasts with the tannins.

All'olfatto è un'esplosione di profumi: fiori di campo, frutti rossi e un tocco di noce moscata. Al palato si presenta subito secco e fresco; con la giusta morbidezza che si contrappongono ai tannini.

Deep ruby red, on the nose it expresses hints of blackberry jam, pepper, clove, and vanilla, with a balsamic note and a touch of powder. On the palate, it is powerful yet elegant, characterized by a tannic structure of incredible precision and craftsmanship. It finishes very long, with notes of blackberry bramble.

Rosso rubino molto scuro, al naso esprime sentori di confettura di mora, pepe, chiodo di garofano e vaniglia, una nota balsamica e un tocco di cipria. Al palato è potente e al tempo stesso elegante, caratterizzato da una trama tannica di incredibile precisione e fattura. Chiude lunghissimo, su note di mora di rovo.

Takes time to open and the cork literally crumbled into a zillion parts. BUT luscious dark cherry awaited some patience and it absolutely improved with decant. It’s certainly a long time in waiting (25+ years) but worth the Journey.

Decanted an hour or so before drinking
Dark fruit (black cherry, blackberry), tobacco, spice, slight earth, tannins, could probably use a few more years. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Better with food. Really enjoyable.

An enormously concentrated Umbria wine (in all its aspects: color, bouquet and taste), a selection of the estates best Sagrantino grapes (100 percent). The wine spent 24 months in French oak barrels, followed by a further 8 months refinement in the bottle before release. It boasts a dense black-inky color (almost impenetrable, no visible signs of aging) with glass-staining legs. The complex nose is brimming with aromas of blackberry, cassis, licorice, dark chocolate and some hints of nutmeg and leather. The wonderfully balanced palate shows an opulent but extremely elegant wine with loads of ripe plum and black forest fruit, great depth, significant but succulent tannins and an excellent acid structure. Magnificent aftertaste. Absolutely great yet and should continue to drink well for the next five to six years. It is recommended to decant the wine one hour before serving.

Een geweldig geconcentreerde wijn uit Umbrië (in al zijn aspecten: kleur, bouquet en smaak), een selectie van de beste Sagrantino-druiven van het wijngoed (100 percent). Hij rijpte 24 maanden in Franse eikenhouten vaten, met aansluitend nog eens 8 maanden verfijning op fles alvorens hij op de markt wordt gebracht. Dicht inktzwart van kleur (bijna ondoorzichtig) zonder enig spoor van veroudering en hevig tranend. De complexe neus zit boordevol aroma's van bramen, cassis, zoethout, pure chocolade en nuances van nootmuskaat en leder. In de mond: een weelderige, elegante en bijzonder fraai uitgebalanceerde wijn gedomineerd door overvloedig rijp pruimen- en zwart bosfruit, met een grote diepgang, presente maar perfect geïntegreerde tannines en een uitstekende aciditeitsstructuur. Prachtige afdronk. Een sublieme wijn, nu al bijzonder goed op dronk, maar hij blijft de komende vijf tot zes jaar zeker nog op dit niveau. Het is aan te raden om hem een uur op voorhand te decanteren.

PnP for dinner at a restaurant, it started to open up over the ~90 minute meal, but still needed more time. Nose is intense but pretty closed with blackberry, plum, cocoa, some herbs, leather, and maybe cedar, but even two days in it is pretty tight. Palate is more of the same dark fruit, earth, and herb, but it is flat. Medium acidity, intense tannins. Honestly just immature at the moment, it really needs some time to come into balance.

What's not to like? Nice bright fruit from the 70% Sangiovese, a plump quality from the 15% Merlot, and a firm structure from the 15% Sagrantino. Well integrated, open, and drinking great. All at a $16 price tag - crazy good QPR. Had with a homemade Ribollita in a snow storm. Could this be the best wine for the $ in Italy?

Dark fruits, balsamic, coffee and dark chocolate nose, high and astringent tannins and high alcohol makes the wine difficult, might be better with a fatty steak.

Intense and complex aromas of black cherry, plum, licorice, tobacco, and leather.
Full-bodied with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish.
A powerful and elegant wine with great aging potential.
Aged for 30 months in a combination of new and used French oak barrels.
Full-bodied and powerful, with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish.

Still young and needs some time to age.

When you combine one of the biggest, most tannic wines in Italy with one of the hottest vintages of the last 30 years, you know things are going to get interesting, and more than a little over ripe.

Aromas of stewed raspberries, stewed black cherries, stewed dark plums. But actually a tad more than stewed: the fruits almost take on a caramelized quality. Also a lot of cocoa powder, and dirt/earth. Medium + intensity of aromas. On the palate an attractive black truffle flavor is added; but it's mostly consistent with the nose.

Full bodied with medium + acid and still powerful tannins at age 21. The structure is going to outlast the flavor here for sure; but for now this drinks nicely. Great pairing with briased beef and mushroom ravioli.

This has a nice savory/mineral uplift, red fruit, some oak and a light, warm finish. Dry, minty. I like how the Merlot softens the wine.

Lacking "a bit of everything". Pleasant "every-day wine" at the best. Fruit was a bit muted and I sensed a touch of TCA, so either a not impressive wine or a "mild cork taint"...

Drank from cellar. Expected to be cooked based on last year / different storage location but no, this was truly outstanding. Cigar box and tertiary notes, acidity holding it upright and tannins nearly gone. Last bottle here but I would pick up another in a heartbeat if storage conditions were assured.

Color: dark ruby to the brim
Nose: leather, dark roasted coffee, sour cherry on the ripe side, burnt pipe tobacco
Palate: medium-high acidity, high tannins not resolved. Big, chewy body, as full as it gets. Balanced however. The coffee grounds really jump at you
Finish: long

This wine is huge, and despite the 20+ years in bottlez it has a ton of youthful might. Three hours decanting brought it to a very nice place with tertiaries showing, fruit still stubbornly there, and tannins and acidity that still make it a great match for the cotechino and lentil meal that is obligatory on the first day of the year
