  Organically farmed Marche wine, a blend of 70 percent Montepulciano and 30 percent Sangiovese, aged for eighteen months in French barriques (of which 50 percent were new). Decanted: one hour prior to tasting. Color: dark ruby-red with a slightly watery rim. Bouquet: scents of blueberry, plum, leather, black pepper and some earthy nuances. On the palate: a tart, medium- to full-bodied wine dominated by sour cherry and raspberry fruit, with still quite present tannins and a serious acid structure. Finish: good aftertaste with a touch of astringency. The wine is already enjoyable now, but will certainly improve over the next two–three years.
  
  Biologisch geteelde wijn uit de Marken, een blend van 70 percent Montepulciano en 30 percent Sangiovese, die achttien maanden rijpte in Franse barriques (waarvan 50 percent nieuw). Gedecanteerd: één uur voor consumptie. Kleur: donker robijnrood met een licht waterige rand. Bouquet: aroma’s van bosbes, pruim, leder, zwarte peper en ook wat aardse nuances. In de mond: een ietwat stroeve, redelijk krachtige wijn gedomineerd door fruit van zure kers en framboos, met nog steeds vrij presente tannines en een stevige aciditeitsstructuur. Finale: degelijke, licht astringente afdronk. De wijn is nu al best drinkbaar, maar zal zich de komende twee–drie jaar nog verder ontwikkelen.
