3/1/2024 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NRPnP, vg showing. I wasn't planning on opening my final bottle, but a guest stopped by and was curious, so here we are. Fully mature with decent freshness, drink now. Rather elegant, the lightest touch of dusty savory. The core of fruit is fading, it's more tertiary than anything. 13,5%., drink in the next several years based on the last two bottles. The 01s are still showing rather young and snappy. |

After Ferruccio retired from building cars and tractors, he bought the La Fiorita estate in Umbria and he took up winemaking. I’ve had the good fortune to enjoy a few different vintages of “Campoleone”, their most serious wine, over the years but it’s often a bit of a challenge to find in the middle of the US. It’s traditionally a 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Merlot and labeled as an IGT. I had two bottles of the 2001 vintage in my cellar and decided to open one because, why not? As luck would have it, the first one was corked. Might as well open the second! That’s more like it! |

2/2/2024 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NRPnP. I've had two in the past year with consistent results: it's time to drink up. I'm really happy to have opened when I did because, while fully mature, there's still (just) enough freshness to keep this elegant and enjoyable. It needed 30 minutes to fully open, and once it did, it slowly faded over the following two hours (in bottle, not aerated to decanter). Some beautiful tertiary with a few strokes of charming secondary notes, too. A goodly amount of sediment, as expected. DRINK NOW. recommended |

2/1/2024 - Tim Heaton wrote: NRPnP. My third of four, and this particular one, while managing good freshness for its age, proved a good reminder to drink my final bottle sooner than later. Mostly tertiary at this point, with soil, red and dark berry, and forest notes. Medium-bodied, fine, round tannins, avg+ length and decent complexity. Now and the next several years, if this one is representative. 13,5% abv. recommended |

11/29/2023 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 90 pointsMy final bottle of this vintage. Part of a pasta and pizza Sangiovese night with my wine group. No formal notes. But as a Merlot/Sangiovese blend, it seemed heavier (or more full bodied) than the all Sangiovese wines. |

11/14/2023 - Vascular46 Likes this wine: 90 pointsStill retains deep purple color-no brick. The nose was somewhat disappointing with only a hint of dark fruit. The palate was better with notes of tobacco and licorice and toasted oak. At the end of it's prime drinking interval. |

3/4/2023 - Neurowine1 wrote: NRMy first btl i am actually drinking of this having given 3 of them away over the years. Very lovely polished and unique Tuscan wine. The sangio/merlot blend works here and both varietals show their best characteristics, and really seem to play off each other. There is nice tart sangio bing cherry to balance out the rounder plummy merlot. Tons of mineral (iron) and forest floor notes. My one critique is the wood seems a a bit heavy handed here, and this is overall quite internationally styled (as I expected). This is starting to dry out and should be drunk up in short order. Needs food, but drinking it solo at the moment. |

11/30/2022 - pavel_p Likes this wine: 93 pointsProbably my last bottle. Chapeau to Bob for putting this wine onto the radar of the international wine community. While I struggle with Bob’s credo of bigger is better towards the end of his career, this was just a great find 20 years ago. Still a fairy dark garnet, no signs of oxidization which I find remarkable for a Sangiovese / Merlot blend, this is showing a great balance of those two grapes that are fairly rarely combined. Well delineated fruit, integrated tannins and good length. Still in a great spot - drink now |
