  • Cork broke so decanted. Some sediment
    Dark fruit (black cherry, blackberry), spice, earth, tobacco, leather, good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable

  • Very rustic, lighter style of Sangiovese. It might be entering a decline as our bottle seemed a little weak.

  • Decanted for 1 hour, drank with chicken parmigiana & pasta dinner. There was very little sediment (was it filtered?). I will decant the next bottle another hour longer.
    - Color was ruby red but lighter than I expected it to be.
    - Smoke and red cherry on the nose
    - At first tannins were a little stiff but they relaxed with more time & air exposure. Flavors of smoke, red cherry, spices and earthiness mixed with good acidity.

    I heard that 2005 was a somewhat challenging year and the addition of declassified grapes that usually go into La Pergola Torte bottling definitely helped. I do question longevity of this wine as the fruit was lighter (more faded?) than what I expected it to be when I first tasted this bottling back in 2011. I think now is a good time to be drinking this wine and I do recommend decanting it. 90+

  • Lovely floral, light nose with subtle tobacco and elegant finish. Low alcohol. Delicious wine. A little cloudy in the glass though. Good sense of terroir. Can I say that about an Italian wine? Too late now.
