  Plums, sour cherry, dark berries; later on tea leaves and a Smokey touch; good balance; good fit with lamb; medium long finish, a little dry maybe; seems to be at peak now

  Again I sustain that Sangiovese and Bordeaux blens are ones of my favourites! Maybe not perfect but very good and happy marriage. Very clear ruby colour with some brown hints on the edges which I like a lot. Lots of fruits after opening but now, after two hours, I can smell spicy and tobbaco as well as coffee (this I am not sure enough but my wife says so). Well balanced in the mouth, obviously vanilla hints (aged in new oak). I think that that can be enjoyed also within next 1-2 years.

  Florence & Tuscan Holiday; 5/9/2011-5/16/2011 (Florence & Tuscany): Nose: A little closed. Some nice fruit and italian herbs.
  
  Taste: Quite a straightforward red wine with some delightful red fruit and a coffee finish.. Well made but clearly overshadowed by the Rancia and Fontalloro.

  Sister winery of Felsina
  
  Elegant nose – nutmeg from the oak is showing very nicely. Cranberry and fresh ripe raspberry fruit red fruit in addition to cassis and black current on the nose and palate. Secondary aromas and flavors of eucalyptus with a green pepper / vegetal component. Very nice wine.
