Nice fruit. Solid little PN. Varietally correct. Really nice fruit. NIce.

Ramato is an Italian word referencing leaving the skins in contact. I believe this producer does this for three days with this wine. The results are likely to have two different camps, as this wine is of course not your typical PG. It's pretty heavy, with aromatics full of nuttiness and that slight oxidized aromas. It's full bodied on the palate. For the price, $25, I'm not sure what to think about it.

3/21/11: Tannic. Classic. Bright, with high acidity. Screaming for food. Very good, and a good choice for someone looking for the next step of Monte. 87-88

10/26/10: Tons of stuff going on in the aromatics. Some funk, great acidity. Really good Monte, at the next level that it is correctly priced at. 88

3/21/11: Great aromatics. Delicious stuff, one of the better Senesi's I've had. Classic. Superbly balanced. Really rockin' Chianti. 90+

10/26/10: Cool, red cherry fruit. Has a softness in front of the acidity, almost a layered feel. Well balanced, and well done. This is good, on the plusher side. 88

Some funk. Some mint. Good fruit, veering toward red. Nice balance. 88

Funky cool aromatics. Funkaliscious. Savory. Nice wine. 90+

3/21/11: Funky, barnyard nose. This is George Clinton All-Stars Funky on the nose. Awesome stuff. Savory. There aren't any other Chianti's being imported into America like this. 91-92

10/26/10: Woah, that is some incredible aromatics on this wine. Very funky, with mint, barnyard, and animal thing. On the palate, which I got to after about a minute of smelling this, it's high acid, with the funkiness still there. This is a rustic Chianti that doesn't compare very much to anything available. I like it, though I'm not quite sure what to do with it. 90-91

Funky, minty nose. Savory. Rich, classic, red fruits. Great structure and balance. I think I'm going to go with the regular bottling at $25 versus this for $40. 92+

3/21/11: Funky, cool aromatics. Bright, too. Great structure. Really nice stuff. 89-90

10/26/10: Soft, lush, meaty, funky aromatics. Truly fantastic aromatics. There's a great juiciness on the palate of this wine. Cherries. Really delicious. This is extremely well done. 89-90

Funky, minty nose. Bright and beautiful Barbara.

3/21/11: Amazing Barolo aromatics. Stunning aromatics. The palate isn't at the amazing level of the nose, but is still quite nice indeed. Already accessible. Fantastic wine, and worth the moderate tarif. 93+

10/26/10: Oh boy, this has a beautiful, fantastic nose. Red fruits, flowers. The wine itself is quite beautiful, made in a more feminine mold. The tannins and acidity are actually in check right now. You can hold this sure, but also drink it right now. This is a great Barolo, looking for elegance and persistence over brute power. 92-94

Super funky aromatics. Bigger, more tannic then the Terlo. Beautiful wine, but this needs time. 94-95

Fresh. Delicious, easy going fun Moscato.

Sweet, intense, yummilicious. Apricots.
