Score is an average of my wife and me. Lots of red fruit on the nose. Tannins were very smooth. Long finish. My wife was blown away by this, but me it was simply very good.

Does not really come across as a Sangiovese - much more amped up as you might expect from Del Dotto. Nonetheless it is a big rich wine that while high in alcohol has a soft smooth framework that exudes sweet cherries, cinnamon and spices.

Had at Il Fornio with a generous helping of lagnassia and wow was this wine awesome. So supple and smooth, yet masculine and refined. At $65 it is on the pricer side but it is so good you quickly forget the price. Bright color, stunning nose and a finish that will leave you longing for more. Fantastic wine which will last another 5 years without issue.

Medium bodied, cherry flavors. Nice Sangio. Consumed over 5 hours with a mixed cheese plate & Sunday Sauce.

Floral nose, lavender, spice and dried cherry. Well balanced despite the high alcohol. May hold longer but great now.

Smooth medium-bodied Sangiovese which went very well with lasagna.

Nice acid and tannins. In a good place but will hold for some time, no rush to open. A little hot at 15%+ but enjoyable.
