Big fun of orange. But this one is Very underwhelming. Full bodied but lucking character, in my opinion. Not impressed at all. Tried it with smoked fish and potatoes.

tasted on 02/18 after 2 hours of decanting. Still was not enough to open up.
Not particularly complex. Big punch, not a long finish. Still have a few bottles. Will hold them for a few more years.

Lots of warm black fruit and plum aromas. The mouth is initially very silky but gives away to some mouth watering acidity and firm tannins.

100% Sangiovese , from a combination of estate selected clones.
Full and powerful, with ripe and gentle tannins, with personality without equal, jewel of the prestigious Poggio alle Mura selection.
Stands out for a rare elegance, together with an immense concentration
Suitable for long aging.

Medium bodied. 100% Sangiovese. Needs long decant or preferably a few more years in the stellar. Mid palate needs to open up more. Pizza and pasta wine.
Will try the next bottle a year from now.
