  Bright red fruit driven, fairly interesting. Had alongside the Grotte Alte and I feel like the 100% Frappato has these rustic/harsh tannins in comparison. Enjoyed overall

  This was a rather pleasant surprise, one I enjoyed over two nights. This wine was very aromatic, with red fruit perfume, and lightly of spices. Upon first sip I was taken aback by the lovely, tart, and spry fruit. It was gushing positive AFWE vibes. Certainly not forced, the bright and juicy red and dark cherry fruit was jumping from the glass. I thought it was like a cross between a great Beaujolais, and a great Barolo -never drunk a Frappato. The second day was much the same, bright and juicy red fruit, with plenty of depth, spiced, and begging to be drunk.

  Popped and poured, and this isn’t bad. Red fruit and herbs on the nose, lighter-bodied and good acidity on the palate. Similar to my comments on the BB that I had earlier this year, one does have to question the price of the single vineyard releases, but if you can be agnostic about that, these are nice wines that can be enjoyed now.

  Light and Bright red fruits with lots of acidity. Exactly what I'd expect from this wine amd this producer. Needs a little air before enjoying.

  Litt pinotaktig. Ren natur uten funk. Bra vino!
