From magnum with roast shoulder of lamb. Dark ruby. Dark fruit elements but lacking structure and depth. My impression is that this is not intended to be a wine for the long term although it held up well in an opened bottle for quite a few days. It is pleasant and drinks smoothly but there is nothing that excites my curiosity. A round, easy drinking sort of wine and a bit 'sweet'. Not a wine I particularly managed to connect with on a cerebral level.

I have tasted this vine several times, last time 2 years ago. Very good vintage at its best shape right now. Perfect example of lower price range Supertuscan wine from good producer. Good structure, medium body, soft tannins, very nice acidity and lots of red fruits over chocolate and some spices. We paired it with pappardelle all’anatra, but it fits virtually any Italian food. And all that just for about €20. Enjoy it!

True to what the back label says: a companion for every day cooking. A very drinkable, straightforward entry-level tuscan; red fruit-driven palate, slightly tart acidity, medium body, low tannin and medium length finish.

Nose is somehow blurred. Taste much more evolved. Nice Cabernet notes come trough. Pleasant easy drinking.
