9.0

A bright medium ruby color and an elegant, red-fruited profile. On the nose, it opens with fresh cherry, raspberry, and red currant, layered with subtle rose petal and a touch of forest floor and wet stone. The palate is refined rather than powerful, carrying through with cranberry and cherry notes supported by lively acidity and silky, fine tannins. There’s a gentle earthy undertone and a hint of white pepper or baking spice that adds complexity without weight. The finish is clean and medium in length, lingering on fresh red fruit and mineral tones, making it balanced, food-friendly, and distinctly Old World in style rather than bold or extracted. — 4 days ago

8.9

On the nose, I get cassis, blackberry, and a touch of worn leather — classic, understated Tuscan character. There’s also a subtle cherry note that adds brightness without turning sweet.

On the palate, it’s very dry, soft, and composed. Nothing overpowering. The tannins are gentle and well-integrated, giving it a smooth texture rather than grip. The finish isn’t long or dramatic — but that’s part of its charm. It doesn’t demand attention; it invites it.

This is a balanced, easygoing Sangiovese blend — elegant, restrained, and quietly satisfying.

8.5

Bright and clean nose - lemon peel, orange blossom, white peach, a little almond, and a subtle saline/sea-breeze note.
Crisp and lively palate - citrus and stone fruit up front, a touch of herbal bitterness (in a good way), and that classic Sicilian minerality running through the middle.
Finishes dry, refreshing, lightly savory — it makes you want another sip.

9.5

Black currant, blackberry, and cherry, complemented by notes of chocolate, tobacco, spicy oak, and hints of lavender and graphite. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich. Espresso, and spices. Great tannins and a long, persistent finish. — 4 months ago
