In a perfect spot! Great Brunello, tastes still young so I think quite some time left to drink these — 5 days ago

bit shy, needed some time in the decanter - translucent ruby colored, lots of violets and spice, sour cherry and bing cherry, rhubarb, tar, sweet soil, really complex on nose, med weight w/firm tannic grip, flavors from nose on mid palate, nice finish. paired with smoked ribs and it really worked - Father's day treat. i have another of these, believe this is in the pocket right now. *more Barbaresco than Brunello — a month ago

An absolutely stunning wine now entering its drinking window! This is my all-time favorite producer. Extremely floral and elegant on the nose with rose, iris, Mediterranean herbs, fresh mint, balsamic, cedar spice, and loads of red fruit. I could smell this wine forever. The pallet confirms the red fruit notes on the nose with cherries, strawberries, raspberries, slightly dried, with impeccable balance of tannin and acidity. The mouthfeel is incredible. Luscious, but structured. The finish goes on for minutes. — 2 months ago

It was very acidity and a bit bland at first. Maybe it needed more time, but decanted for 3ish hours and it tasted a lot like mushrooms, balsamic, black currant and a touch of underbrush with forest floor- with a touch of oak and spice. It was tannic but there was a lack of something in the mid palate and fruit. As I drank the last glass after 5 hours of decanting, it started to open up beautifully. All the aforementioned characteristics but with a strong mid palate filled with dark fruit. Delicious. Not as good as other vintages but this is worth drinking but give it some time to decante. Maybe 4+ hours. — 15 days ago

Same wine I tasted 2.5 years ago. Yea, old me. It did need some time and now it’s singing. Damn. I may be convinced. Chocolate, some caramel flavors and oak presence in a good way. Okay. I’m convinced. 2018 — 2 months ago

Darker and deeper than I expected. Still has a lot of future. — 3 months ago

A preposterously good value in 2021. I always like their wines, from the Troncone up to the Brunello. But this rosso may really hit the middle sweet spot at least at this point 4 years since harvest. Lovely expression of Sangiovese. Perfect pairing with an excellent medium rare prime strip steak from double R ranch. — a month ago

This bottle didn’t live up to the brand

Decanted for 1 hour before dinner.

Really needed food. This wine was dark and not enjoyable unless paired with rich food.

Overall - okay but not what I expect from this winery. Maybe an off bottle from auction — a month ago

Vintage 2017 | 4 hours in decanter and then I was surprised by its accessibility. Very elegant wine with good structure, fine acidity and extreme good balance. Cherries. Paired with a spiced oyster mushrooms spaghetti. Reliable BdM — 3 months ago

This is a very elegant style of Brunello. Nose has sultry macerated dark cherry, terra cotta tile earthiness, some gorgeous sweet spice notes. In the mouth it’s soft, medium-full, and has some nice complexity. Notes of earthy gravel and porcini mushroom to go along with the rich fruit. Tannins are soft but still provide a nice tactile reference point. Acids are soft. Lengthy finish. — 4 months ago
