  May 12, 2020 - This was alright, though I was expecting an aglianico for some reason which it most certainly is not. Bright and light, fruity, low on tannin and depth overall. Also had a strong iron/iodine note. First time tasting piedirosso.

  October 15, 2019 - Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. Tasting consistently with my 10/23/18 note, except that the fruit on the nose is a little faded.

  March 13, 2019 - Bu sur 2 jours. Jour-1: Sur les fruits rouges, primaire, avec un aspect confit, vanillé. Jour-2: Le fruit rouge est mieux défini, note anisé, grande fraicheur, fins amers, vivace, bien meilleur que la veille! Un peu cher pour le rendu tout de même à 24$cad.

  October 23, 2018 - 100% Piedirosso. Clear, medium ruby. The nose has an interesting mix of tart red cherries and raspberries, tart plums, smoke, tar and a slightly stemmy note. The palate is very dry, with medium (+) acidity, medium tannins and medium alcohol (12.5%). The palate is consistent with the nose but also exhibits a pleasant savory minerality. This wine does not see any oak, but has an inherent smokiness due to the varietal and/or the growing conditions on volcanic soil. It is light to medium (-) bodied and is better when consumed with food. It is drinking well now and should continue to show well for at least another year.

  October 13, 2018 - Red fruits, with earthy notes. A nice, rather simple Italian red.
