March 16, 2024 - Full bodied and better on day 2 where the tannins and fruit became more integrated. Needs a good decant. Full bodied

March 9, 2024 - at the very beginning of its drinking window, still somehow not well integrated, apparently needs some air but doesn't help that much. Give it its time. Paired with a nice T Bone steak with Giorgio, Giulia, Marco and Anna hoping for the best. Unfortunately it was the last day I met Giorgio. RIP

February 10, 2024 - 240209: very nicely balanced with a long finish. Medium body. Bity tannins which smoothens with aerienation. Recomend 1-2 h of air after decanting. Good wine.

December 30, 2023 - This was quite good, but needed time to open up. We decanted 6 hours before our first sip, and it was still fairly reticent. It really bloomed after the 8th hour of being decanted.

November 26, 2023 - Displaying nice notes of cherry, crowberry, blackberry, iron and blood, this medium-bodied Brunello is still fairly tight and tannic. The wine is rather dry, and its fruitiness is not exactly rich. However, there is sufficiently fruit, and the wine gives a noble and intensive impression on the palate. I think that this wine will be even more convincing after a few years of cellaring and further integration of the tannins. The fruit is sufficient for the ageing as well.
