Purchased one bottle at the suggestion of the proprietor of an oenoteca in Bolgheri. Quite disappointed I didn't try it first, because I'd have certainly purchased more. Unlike many Italian reds I've had, this wine need not be paired with food to perform well. Prominent fruit favors, with great balance between acids and tannins. Very well rounded.

Very well balanced wine between the fruit, acid and tannins. Light oak notes. Personally would prefer a bit more tannic wine. This one definitely benefits from decanting.
