From vineyards located in southeast of Montalcino, near Castellnuovo dell'Abate
Earthy style with cherries, smoke and orangeResent

May 16, 2014 - Something has gone terribly wrong with this wine. I hope it was just this bottle, but the cork did not show any signs of distress. The wine was thin and oxidized?
