Light ruby color with some orange around the rim. Aromas of dried red berries, dried rose petals and asphalt. More black fruit (plum/blackberry) on the palate with beautifully integrated flavors of dark chocolate, roasted nuts and vanilla. Touch of spice on the long and smooth finish. Beautiful balance and structure. Powerful yet elegant at the same time. Such a pleasure to drink. Outstanding vintage! Thank you for serving this one, Keith S! — a month ago
Even after a few years of bottle age this is very tannic. And this blend only has smaller part Segrantino! Would benefit from more cellering, for sure. It’s rough but feels very well made. — 5 months ago

Blend of primarily Sangiovese (70%) along with equal parts Sagrantino (15%) and Merlot (15%). Medium ruby color with purple highlights and a garnet rim. Aromas of black fruits, dark chocolate, violets, leather, forest floor and dried herbs. Black cherry, cassis and pomegranate flavors with additional hints of tobacco, black licorice and wet soil. Medium earthy/spicy finish and a grainy texture. Some grip and power but nicely balanced. Pleasant rustic quality. Solid value. — 2 months ago

Still on the young side but already revealing it’s greatness. Additional cellartime will make this an exceptional beauty. Quite serious tannic backbone and some alcoholic heat. Time should make them blend — a month ago
