July 22, 2022 - Shy on the opening. After opening it came around but ever so slowly. Wondering if this will ever come around complete. I wish it was more integrated yet you can taste the Sangio aromatics, the Merlot black fruit and herbal high notes of Cab Franc - integration would make them better in terms of the sum of all parts rather than the ability to pick it apart. I dunno.

December 17, 2021 - I was curious to taste this wine as part of me exploring the use of Cabernet Franc in Tuscan wines.
This bottle was nice, but a bit lacklustre. Nicely smooth and integrated with a silky mouthfeel and some ripe fruit and tertiary notes. A medium finish.
It feels like it is past peak now if I read earlier (more positive notes) on this wine.
I wasn’t able to find details on the exact blend, except for the fact that the 2009 had 50% Sangiovese and the other 50% divided between Merlot and Cabernet Franc. I had the impression that the Merlot has softened too much in the meantime.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 12, 2021 - fruity, silky and high tone berry. Very different from other Tuscan IGT. Merlot and Cab franc. pair well with causal food. Drink up now
