Composed of 90-95% Sangiovese (Prugnolo Gentile), this has a beautifully elegant and highly aromatic nose of red cherry, sweet spices, baking spice, clove, wet earth, and hints of Mediterranean herb aromas laying underneath. It's medium-full bodied on the ripe, structured palate with lovely red cherry, clove, earth replays, plus sandalwood notes on the flavour profile. It is impeccably balanced with juicy, succulent acidity and well-integrated, elegantly structured, and grainy textured tannins. Savoury, earthy, chestnut, and sandalwood notes with touches of cherry lingering on the long, highly pleasurable finish. Score: 92+ pts

This is excellent. It has those typical savory earthy notes at the front that let you know that this is an Italian wine, but mid-palette and back palate it drinks more like a new world wine, at 14.5% ABV. Well balanced, good structure, an incredible wine for the price. On the nose leather, petrol, forest floor. On the palate, backed by enough fruit to make it a delicious everyday wine.

Nose of red fruit, flowers and some petrol. Fruity palate, medium body, sour cherry, blackberry, some earthy notes and oak notes. Bright acidity, medium tannins, very savory delicious wine. Similiar to Chianti, my kind of wine, could be more smooth, have a alcohol kick.

The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and cranberry. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), stoniness, cinnamon and light toast. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

Darker, more husky, more brooding. Palate is lighter and fresher, doesn't really match the nose. But just opened, maybe it needs some time to pull the elements together. Certainly not as dramatic as Boscarelli, but also more built up as well.

N; stewed raspberries and cherries, blackberry, fresh herbs, baking spices.
P: juicy plum, cooked red fruits with spices, blackberry leaf, coffee, vanilla caramel.
Dry, high tannins, medium (+) acidity, medium body, medium alcohol, long finish.
This is delicious. A lot of cooked red fruit flavor without being jammy. Restrained oak flavor, but a lovely vanilla caramel that plays well with the baking spices and fruit.

Pretty nose, not as funky as Sangio or Vino Nobile can be but still potpourri and floral tones that are clearly Italian. Palate shows nice fruit, but then it's a little young with medium plus tannins kicking in. Should be nice in a few years. (Also drank using Coravin)

Forsmak mens lasagnen står i ovnen og eg smaker årets olje fra broderen. Mørk lukt med morell, krydder og vanilje. Litt reduktiv sum luftes bort. Kraftig nesten sødmefull frukt

Fairly dark red. Spicy, earthy, red cherry, dried mushroom and forest floor. Tasty slightly ripe red chrperry flavours and a long dry finish.
I love the 19s for their freshness but the 18s seem to be so structured and are coming into their early drinking window.

Bought at a restaurant for $50. I figured at the price, it couldn't be terrible. Very rewarding bottle of Vino Nobile!
Color. Dark red.
Nose. Violets, raspberries, strawberries
Palate. Chocolate, cherry, cranberry. Cocoa dusted tannins. They're mouth coating.

Well-made VNdM with floral aromas of red cherry, blackberry, worn leather and oak spice. Firm, grainy tannins with fresh acidity and a vibrant finish.

Kristallklar, medeltät, blodröd.
Öppen, intensiv och komplex doft av hallon, körsbär, blåbär och vanilj. Drag av källare.
Fylligt, torrt vin med markerade tanniner och hög syra. Intensiv smak av röda och blå bär. Välbalanserat vin med bra struktur. Medel+ slut.
God kvalitet. Kan vinna på att sparas något år.
