  My last bottle. Great farewell with this beautiful wine, which made me hooked for Gaglioppo. Mellowed and aged, clean, still tough tannins and fresh acidity. Sweet spice and saline touch. Medium body, good finish. Great.

  My penultimate bottle from the case I left to age. I fell in love with this wine and variety Gaglioppo and I was pretty sure this wine will get better with time. I am so glad I was proofed right. After 8-9 years this riserva lost its younger characteristic tones of cocoa/carob and heavier (summer flowers) scents, it is more restrained and vinous. It got sleeker in the best sense, more concentrated with great freshness and very good grip. It finishes long, dry and clean. No need to rush with the last bottle.

  It is almost three years since I drank this wine last time. I really liked it very much then and decided to age it further. The wine lost its softness and lushness, it is less rich and less in carob-cocoa aromas. It got more marmalade and salt aromas, and little drier on the palate. Long, lifted acidity. Drinking like Italian Burgundy.

  Totally disappointing two bottles opened in a row.
