Very good Rosso di Montalcino! Especially with hard cheese and Italian bread! Would also be great with pasta, grilled meats, etc al. Just okay as a sipping wine but comes alive with food!Cherries, brambley fruits, low tannins, good qpr especially as compared to Brunello! — 7 months ago

Тальк, сочная вишня, брусника, красная смородина, легкие животные тона, пот, марганцовка, каперсы, сухая земля. Среднее тело с элегантной, естественной органолептикой, живой кислотностью и тонкими, аккуратными танинами. Уже вполне открыто, в хорошей форме. Легко и изящно в движениях, без большой комплексности, но с отличной фактурой и внутренней гармонией. — 7 years ago

Almost as good as the chianti in Paris — 12 years ago
Paired with Bolognese sauce. Nice wine with food. 2022 vintage - really should have been decanted first. Solid depth and good fruit. Tannins hit up front a bit too much. — 5 months ago
2019 Took some time to open but good nose and ruby colour excellent structure in mouth with good balance of berry flavours acidity and tannins

A real treat to see a 34 year old Italian beauty. Dried herb and fruit. Earthy, dark dried fruits. Soft soft tannin with rounded acid. Lost its vibrancy and that bang that sucks you in. Admirable it has held up and a beautiful experience. 89 points. — 11 years ago
