February 12, 2021 - Opened up after about 15 minutes into a delightful wine. Very smooth and balanced. Ready to drink now.

June 25, 2019 - This final bottle is singing. Light cerise colour, almost a rosé. On the nose is shy yet smells like owed vegetables and earth. Slightly cider. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity and a delicious aftertaste. Nice and well-aged effort. The best Italian light red wine was made in France (Independent producer Vaccelli, Grape Sciacarello, place Cognocoli). Also can be compared with Galician reds.
Esta botella final está en lo mejor. Color cereza claro, casi un rosado. En nariz es tímido pero huele a verduras y tierra. Ligeramente asidrada. De cuerpo medio con acidez fresca y un delicioso retrogusto. Un esfuerzo agradable y bien envejecido. El mejor vino tinto italiano ligero fue hecho en Francia. También puede ser comparado con un tinto gallego. -

September 11, 2018 - Pale crimson. Aromas of sour strawberry , ripe cherries and peach peel. Delicate though elegant. On the palate is a little short but maintains a perfect acidity and a tasty aftertaste. Something unique and still delicious. To be discovered. Poulsard-like. Almost ending my case of six. Pitiful.
Pálido color carmesí. Aromas a fresa ácida, a cerezas maduras y a piel de melocotón. Delicado aunque elegante. En boca se queda un poco corto pero mantiene una perfecta acidez y un sabroso retrogusto. Algo único y todavía delicioso. Merece ser descubierto. Es como un vino basado en la Poulsard. Casi terminando mi caja de seis. Por desgracia. -
