Earthy nose, reminiscent of blue cheese, with forest floor notes and a beautiful rose petal component that really started to open up with some time in the glass. Red fruit and sour cherry on the palate with a bit of baking spice. Still showing big tannin structure and high acidity, that i don't think are going to go away with any amount of age. Long finish.

Nice nose. Strawberry, a hint of cola, and another component that I often get from gamay, but haven't figured out the right word to describe it yet (that's a good comparison).

Very funky "old world nose." Oily, spicy like hot red pepper flake, bouillon. Mineral and apple notes on the palate. Crisp mouthfeel with medium full body, high acidity and medium long finish. Nicely structured but the nose was a turn off for some at the tasting. As a side note I have some experience with Cascina Degli Ulivi and it is starting to seem to me that this producer has a fair amount of bottle variation.
