Really well balanced with lots of fruit and a touch of spice on the nose. Wine did well with pasta and paired well with the cheese at the end of the meal. Good finish that seemed to improve after a couple hours of breathing. β 6 years ago

Grippy tannins and bright acidity with dark berry flavors and slight oak. Pretty impressive value. β 8 years ago
During the Renaissance, the property was controlled by the Medici family, after several marriages itβs now controlled by the Contini Bonacossi family since early 20th century and is run by the Bonacossiβs; Filippo, Bernadetta & Beatrice. I met Beatrice at a private tasting. Deep Ruby, very ripe aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry/Raspberry & sweet spice, earthy tones & cacao, complex. Aged developed tannins, lingering, shows deep earthy tones, perfect now, at the end of its aging potential. Very Nice!! β 4 years ago
There is a lot going on here, but I'm kinda reduced to saying it just tastes like the best cookie--ever. The elevage includes over 6 years in barrels, filled just over half full! Really pure and fresh, but with those chocolate and nut and salted caramel oxidative notes, I'd even say this is a value. β 7 years ago

The environment always lift the tasting. Strawberries abound. Stellar acidity which frames the wine well. Depth and a touch of texture complete the ensemble. β 5 years ago

Red and black cherry, ripe and delicious, currant, leather in a good way, coffee bean, earth, cherry pie, great tannin/acid balance, lovely red fruit on the finish but ends quite dry, acidity keeps it fresh tho, very little green. So so good β 7 months ago
