Ok. I might have been a bit harsh on this wine with my last tasting note from March 2022. This is well made but it is just not my style of wine nor do I enjoy the grape varietal either. I respect it for what it is but it is tough to stomach more than one glass in a sitting. What to do with my other four bottles?

Last of 6, and best. Needed the extra year from the previous bottle. Smooth and full bodied, nice balance, cassis cherry and a hint of tobacco. The 15% alcohol is not intrusive. ****

Not my favorite wine… pruny, austere, tannic. Why did I buy this wine? An Italian wine that doesn’t pair well with food? Does that even exist? Too bad I have five more bottles to drink. Maybe a good reduction sauce?

Fta/Parad) volle rote Frucht gepaart mit feiner Würze und straffer Säure, schön balanciert, ruhiger Abgang. Sehr angenehm, zum Essen und für sich allein.

Tight and earthy on opening, but quickly evolved to show fantastic balance of fruit and acid. Vanilla and herbal in the nose, deep red fruit with a medium finish. Great with fettuccine Alfredo

Tasted during Caviste UK Zoom session of Italian wines. Dark plum colour. The nose is a little closed and there is a slight harshness to the wine at the moment, which I put down to it being too young.. It's firm, peppery, spicy. A good wine, but one which will hopefully improve with more bottle age.

Nice wine, less spectacular than expected
Reminded me of an overripe C9P

Good but not special. Needs some air to smooth out the initial roughness.

Nice aroma but taste wise is ordinary. Smooth though.

Dark and roasty fruit to it.

A touch porty, some oxidised fruit here on the nose; reminds me a bit of a VDN on the palate. Not my thing.

Black fruit and a hint of oak on the nose, good tannic structure and lots of ripe red fruit. Enough sweetness to pair with aromatic chicken fajitas.

The 2016 is good, but the 2015 was much better.
