  Pale ruby with violet hues. Smells strongly whole-bunchy with notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, sour plum. Light-bodied, soft tannins, moderate acidity, Falls short on the finish. Quite meh compared to the previous vintages.

  Moderate ruby in the glass. Very tight on the first glass, but leave it for a bit in the decanter (or even better in the fridge) and you will be rewarded with a cherry pie in liquid form. I had no idea that was even possible, but this delivered it straight to my senses. Lovely earthy edge on the palate as well. Just a light grip of tannins and zippy, refreshing acidity. Long, slightly earthy finish with a liquorice hint to complement. Such a well-done wine, standing shoulder to shoulder with Alessandro’s trademark wine Note di Bianco.

  Entry level but delivers so much more. This is mostly Gamay, with a bit of Malbec to stir things up. Pale ruby in the glass. Freshly mashed forest fruit on the nose in the forms of wild strawberry, raspberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant and cranberry. An umami edge here as well. Bright acidity, moderate alcohol. Not much complexity, but such a glou glou character, it will make you cry. Best vintage so far for me.
