1/1, good cork. Decanted 1/2 hr. Medium ruby/garnet core, pale ruby rim. Nose is bright with slightly spicy red cherry fruit, good intensity and purity. Quite rich, yet fresh, florals emerging. Full bodied, rich and round, bright red cherry fruit, touch of liquorice, soft tannins, vibrant acidity, maybe a bit of heat poking through from time to time on an otherwise good length, harmonious finish. Very good indeed, drinking quite well but no hurry.

medium bodied wine, dark fruits and cherry, some oak, a nicely balanced wine. However, to me personally, I prefer the standard vino nobile (non-riserva) version from Gattavecchi, the additional aging in small oak barrels does not add anything special to the other wise already very smooth and structured wine.

Lovely balanced red. Very enjoyable to drink with a meal or by itself. Not too full bodied.
