- Critic tasting note: "From Contessa Franca Spalletti Trivelli, this wine goes back and forth. At one moment it shows light but clean red fruit but at other points it seems a touch weedy, pickled and green. Raspberry, strawberry and cola control the flavor profile, while the finish is soft and surprisingly light." - 86/100, Wine Enthusiast
