94+ take everything you like about a great Chianti Classico and turn it up a notch or 2 but it still maintains grace and elegance. This is technically their Riserva as it was called that previously but they pulled out of the Consorzio. — 3 months ago

9.1

Medium purple in color; raspberries, cherries, and dried herbs on the nose; low acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like tart cherry jolly ranchers, raspberry sauce, and black tea with a long fruity finish. There may be a little residual sugar in this wine, but it's still very good. It's easy drinking for anyone that likes sour candies. It could use a little more acidity. Nellie doesn't like it because it's sour. I love it. — 2 years ago

Aged in 500 and 1000l tonneaux and botte. More complex but maintains the house style for Nebbiolo with a more skeletal presentation. About 30 days in skins and shows the slightly more rusty color thisb exteneded maceration might suggest Some might say delicate/aromatic and polished, I want a little more primary fruit. — 3 years ago

First 2024 wine!! This is really excellent - haven’t had this grape (albana) before. Orange but in the way that I like - no overly “natural” funk and instead just excellent stony fruit and some great grip. Very juicy and almost savory with a long finish. Great value at $22. — 6 months ago

One of the wines that was most often awarded Tre Bicchieri throughout the years by Gambero Rosso. I can certainly see why. Fruit is still kicking, but at this stage it takes the backseat to complex savory and earthy notes with touch of smoke and red floral.
Rich and velvety on the palate. Candied long finish.
A blend of Cab, Cab Franc and Merlot. — 2 years ago

Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, amareno cherry, vanilla, oak, espresso and leather. On the palate, cherry, florals, Espresso, chocolate, full bodied, with a long finish. A nice representation of amarone and the type of wine I could have daily. Also a great bargain. — 2 years ago

It's a great, refreshing Sangiovese. If you like chianti, you'll love this. It's packed with flavor, but it's light and easy drinking and fruity with enough spice and herbs to balance it. I feel like I could take wine from the porch to the dining table to the couch.

Color: A dark clear Ruby color that goes kinda purple in color 

Aroma: It's a strong fruity forward aroma that I easily smelled through my N95 mask (probably a knock off). It's a delicious and enticing aroma. I get dark fruits like sour cherry, some plum, and subtle nutty notes. It has a fruit forward aroma with some juiciness. It's a very inviting aroma.

Taste: Delicious. Reminds me od chianti which makes sense since many chiantis are Sangiovese. It's light and savory with some spice and herbs like parsley. It's finishes smooth with a slightly lingering finish that dusts the tongue and coats the mouth. There's plum flavours, some cherry, some spiciness, some herbaceous parsley Ness. It has good acid and low tannins. — 4 years ago

Some blackberry, Smokey notes, so soft in the mouth. Went very well with risotto and sausage. I have to think that’s the pairing in Piedmont for most people. The average Italian there ain’t drinking Barbaresco every night. — 9 months ago

Had the 2023 in January of 2025. First sip out of the glass was strange. Kind of sour fruit, butter and wood. Gave it time to breathe and swirled in the glass and then it was really good. Light fruits- dark cherry and blackberry. Hints of wood and leather in the finish. I always tend to jump right in. Have a decanter but don’t always head to it based on other people’s comments, I probably should have! But time in the glass was kind. Was a very interesting wine that I would love to have again. — a year ago

I liked this but wasn’t blown away. Surprised it got “vino slow” from the Slow wine guide — 4 years ago
