a wonderful and expressive Rosso, full bodied and complex, notes of ripe fruit, saffron, vanilla, oak, cedar, and leaves on the nose, beautifully well balanced palate with strong oak character, proper acid, and subtle, pleasant alcohol, slightly gamey after a few days, sweet tannins, smooth and sinuous finish, good with homemades but best fully appreciated alone, this is what a nice red should be

100% sangiovese, aged in wood for a year, partly in large foudres, partly in 350 litre barrels. A fairly closed nose. Very attractive attack. Lots of elegant restrained fruit on the palate. Good structure. Quite fine on the finish with some tannic structure. Very Good Indeed.

OK bouquet but basically the wine has died. No real flavor.

Wine was corked. Dry cork but tried anyway. Tasted bitter and had a unpleasant aftertaste. Returning to store.
