November 24, 2023 - A beautiful translucent red. Fresh strawberry combines with a garrigue feeling on the nose.
The strawberry juicyness continues on the palate. Medium-bodied with discrete tannins.
Less complex but more juicy compared to the Pietrarizzo of which I have tasted the 2016 and 2017. -

November 23, 2023 - Very light garnet color belies an interesting and structured wine. Blood orange, raspberry and slate on the nose. Fresh red fruit up front on the palate with good, linear acidity over a medium plus finish. Volcanic soils evident throughout. Very nice.

October 7, 2023 - Rispetto alle esperienze precedenti mi sembra aver guadagnato maggiore complessità con un po’ di permanenza in bottiglia, questo non va a discapito della freschezza e della fragranza. Davvero eccellente QPR

June 1, 2023 - Piacevole diretto e fragrante, gran bevibilitá. Fiori, ciliegia appena più evoluta, erbe e pietra. Più freschezza che tannini. Molto versatile da abbinare.
