Incredible nose and unique aromas, lots of mineralogy intermixed with amazing fruit textures. Like nothing I've ever experienced. What a beautiful Italian marvel!!

Drinking well after 1 hour decant. Black fruit with a spicy herbaceous finish. I would agree with prior reviewer that identified basil. Tanin structure remains intact which suguests this wine can be enjoyed over the next few years.

Paired very well with a pasta dish featuring fresh basil, tomatoes and thinly sliced garlic combined with olive oil. Gave it plenty of time to open. Would love to have a few more bottles.

Some bottle variation - this was a good one. Funky. Held up fine.

Decanted 1 hour. Didn't show well. Green and harsh, rough around the edges. Vinturi helped a little (always a last resort for me). Disappointing.
