  September 9, 2016 - Achat au restaurant - Vin avec belle matière (ni collé, ni filtré) avec dépôts importants. Robe grenat de belle densité, jus agréable avec tannins nobles. Se marie bien avec cuisine italienne charcuterie, boulettes d'agneau et grouse.

  August 31, 2014 - This is a supercharged "Gutturnio" (Barbera and Bonarda blend), normally an easy to drink, light body red wine to drink with cured meat and sausages, but with "Macchiona" becomes a stronger and more complex red.
  
  Needs plenty of time and air to develop after opening the bottle. At first strongly smells like petrol which the next day becomes more subtle but still present. when you drink it, the flavors of dark berries, cherry and oak are fighting against each other in your mouth. Again it's much better the second day.
  
  Very long finish and high tannins that require some fat food (typical of the "Colli Piacentini" region) to better enjoy this wine.
  
  The 2005 vintage has been very hot while 2006, which I've in my cellar and not tried yet, has been colder which should have produced even higher tannins! Yke!

  August 16, 2014 - Burgundy color, Earthy nose, fairly complex finish and "funky" like stinky barnyard

  January 22, 2012 - Little reductive/barnyard animal notes on the nose at first but given time to settle down opens up to aromatic bouquet (some inky newspaper print aromas, though not unpleasant) and good mature fruit (50/50 Barbera / Bonarda) with structured tannins on the finish and apparent though not overpowering oak (from large slovenian barrels). Nice wine, drinking well now if approached with patience and surely with plenty more ageing potential.

  January 14, 2012 - Better, fuller, longer finish than the Gutturnio. Very vegetal and red fruits in the nose. Hints of mokka/ coffee. Finish is long. Needs some air to open up. 90.
