  (100% Sangiovese von südlich ausgerichteten Lagen mit alten Reben, 14% Alkohol, 30 Tsd. Flaschen Produktion) Kräftiges Rubinrot, deutlich mehr Farbtiefe als der Testamatta 2021 im Glas daneben. Die Nase ist feinduftig, zeigt einen Mix aus dunklen und roten Früchten, das sind getrocknete Kräuter, Oregano, etwas Eukalyptus, schwarze Oliven, reiffruchtig, jedoch mit kühlem Ausdruck. Im Gaumen kräftig, druckvoll, gleichzeitig tänzerisch leicht, faszinierendes Zusammenspiel aus Frucht und Struktur, der Wein ist cremig, zeigt Schmelz, bleibt frisch, hallt im Abgang sehr lange nach. Ein top balancierter, komplexer Wein, der dieses Jahr etwas mehr Druck zeigt als 2020, dennoch viel Trinkfluss bietet. Jetzt bis 2045+ geniessen, 97 vvPunkte

  Walkaround tasting so just short notes: The grapes for this wine come from four 100 years old vineyards. The wine has a beautiful and complex bouquet and on the palate beautiful and juicy acidity and tannin and well dosed oak. Great length. Definitely a very beautiful wine but it probably needs more to show all of its finesse. For now 94+

  Very pure fruit, layered and deep albeit edgy and in need of time to come together. Lots of dark and red fruit, berries, a touch of liquorice also, spice, a touch of smoke. Really good. 93-94
