    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.

A very lively and refreshing wine with character. Good with food, but also good to drink alone because it does not fatigue the palate in any way at all.

    July 25, 2017 - Impossible to Pair with Food? (Restaurant La Piperna - Madrid): Ruby-off colour. cherry on the nose with blows of pyrite ore. In the mouth it still maintains that watery texture of the last bottles. To be drunk sooner than later but totally enjoyable and different right now.
    It would be wonderful if this grape were related to the Canarian Listán Negro ...

    Color rubí apagado. Cerecita en nariz con golpes de mineral de pirita. En boca sigue manteniendo esa textura acuosa de las últimas botellas. Para beber antes que después pero totalmente disfrutable y diferente. Sólo faltaría que esta uva estuviese emparentada con la canaria Listán Negro ...

    July 16, 2016 - Other notes cover it well, this has an underlying minerality, but it isn't the dominant feature, plenty of fruit, but to me it is light on its feet, never heavy, light but present tannins, touches of campfire smoke, overall a combination of rustic and elegant, nice.

    January 14, 2016 - Saying Goodbye to Relatores Street; 1/12/2016-1/14/2016 (Restaurant La Piperna - Madrid): Once again a delicacy for what it is
    Meaty and mineral on the nose. Acid and balanced on the palate. Silky.
    Always a success.

    Una vez más una delicadeza para lo que es.
    En nariz se mostró cárnica y mineral. En boca ácida y equilibrada. Sedosa. Siempre un acierto.
