Colour is starting to fade around the edges already. It's smells like dried red fruits. Cranberry, strawberry, some darker cherry. There is some undergrowth and dried rose petals. It does taste like it is more developed than you would expect for the age but at the same time I really like where it's at. The savoury dried red fruits are still there, it's earthy, more undergrowth, iron and a little sappy. Kept changing in the air. Exactly how I like my Pinot. — 8 years ago
Don't think of Rossi di Montalcino as inferior to Brunello, Elisa Sesti told me, but as a younger wine that "heralds the new vintage." It's a wonderful way of thinking of this young, fresh, fruity, but complex and layered wine. — 9 years ago

Hard lemon candy on the nose. Rich and creamy on the pate. Evident but subdued acidity. A bit gruner-esque after a few years to settle in the bottle. — 10 years ago

So young but still so much to offer! Hibiscus, Rose hip, violet on the nose with a hint of sweetness and vanilla which faded after 90 min.. pure elegance with fine tannins but smooth finish! @Elisa Scavino — 8 years ago
You know, I just love what @Elisa Scavino is doing with these wines. It's approachable but also classic and can age. Luxuriously textured, floral, beautiful layers, striking acidity, sexy tannins. You will love this wine. #barolo — 9 years ago

Essentially a pop and pour. And it performed exquisitely. Classic Barolo notes and a few edges that suggest many future great years. Great producer + great vineyard + great year = great wine. Thanks @Elisa Scavino — 7 years ago
