A round and creamy style. Ripe and round red to purple fruit. Some earth/manure. Quite a sweet nose, lots of mocha, vanilla, and cream. Good wine, but not my preferred style of Sangiovese.

Purple red hue, medium fruity aroma. Subtle first brunello taste, dark fruits of cherries, currants. Dry middle and finish, long linger of black pepper and herbs. Decent wine from a great year.

Unexpected discovery. Nose was perfect from the opening, while palate seemed a little weak and unbalanced. Oak, leafher, cherry, strawberry, mainly red fruit, oregano, tomato and some spice in nose. Needed 2+ hours for me to get its taste. And after that the it was just solid. Nice qpr, especially for its fruitiness. Blessed by the vintage and truly well made.

Restaurant wine, they were sold out of a 2008 Martucino that was listed so this replaced it, ☹️ but I've been chasing this bottle for some time, so it works out?
Very austere aromas & flavours for this 2016, almost Bordeaux-like at some point. Earthy aromas and flavours of iron, oak, dried herbs, raspberry, and roasted tomato. After 90 minutes the raspberry turns a little ripe, but the tannins didn't let up, so food was needed to tame some of it. This will need about 3-4 more years to truly enjoy & get to that 90+

Smooth and well balanced, not very jammy or tannic but has good solid body
