Brilliant ruby color. A bit tight out of the bottle, with barnyard aromas but after an hour+ of decanting, reveals lovely rose petal, oolong tea, raspberry, and mint aromas. — 9 years ago

2012 Matteo Correggia's 'Anthos' dry Brachetto, yum! A riper vintage but of such suppleness, lush rose petal & ripe juicy raspberry leaf. Dry, yet lovey. A #perfectpairing to pizza & rosemary flatbread. — 10 years ago

2005. Primal nose, very closed. Hints if rose petal, tar, cherry pit and loam. Reminds me of Chiavennasca grapes from Valtellina. — 11 years ago

Nose has a lovely soft red fruited perfume with dried rose petal, and a gentle yet intense Chinese five spice, some notes of dried forest floor and a sweet smokiness, incredibly attractive.
In the mouth there is a vibrant, mouth tingling acidity, little discernible tannin and a dry berry finish which is subtle but very long, spice notes still detectable after a minute+. — 12 years ago

Dried red fruits, sour cherry, balsamic, rose petal, camphor and saddle leather, very sweet on the palate and coats your tongue with polished tannins and nice acidity, very nice vintage for Monfortino. — 12 years ago

A gorgeous, soft rose petal nose. Delicate, deep, pretty with hints of orange blossom, tea and all kinds of resolved cherry fruit. Light, but beautifully deep. There’s a plush, haunting quality to this wine but it is light, translucent and ethereal. This is exquisite. — 9 years ago

Pulled the cork on Saturday night to begin a slow oxidation. 12 hours later double decanted. Seriously reduced even after the double decant, but giving off a bit of the fabulous rose petal if you work for it. Now on Monday afternoon, still fairly tannic. A bit more of the exotic in the nose, but not particularly generous on Monday afternoon. Out of respect for the countless passions provided by other bottles and other vintages of this wine, I'll give it a 9, but the rest of this case clearly needs to sleep some years longer. — 10 years ago

Light purple with hints of orange and brown. Medium-light body. Opened slightly tightly with notes of cola, earth, and bark. Some air (2 hours) revealed a rose-petal, cherry skin nose, and a lovely jammy palate. The medium to high acidity balances it very nicely. Some earth remained throughout. Very nice - recommended! — 11 years ago

Sweet cherry, leather, tobacco, very floral & elegant showing more finesse than power with rose petal & violet notes. Soldera is in a league of its own! — 9 years ago

A nose of raspberry liqueur, rosewater, sappy pine/stem aromas, and horsey/leathery gaminess. Soft, silky, and with a wonderful sweetness. This bottle was clean as a whistle and just wonderful. — 9 years ago

Just over ice with a twist of lemon or orange. Pretty citrus and spice notes. Too bad there was so little made. Makes me wish I had a bigger bottle! — 10 years ago

Started out a little funky with a slight curry and old furniture but started to blow off and developed into a classic Barolo with dried cherry, Rosemary, tobacco and rose petal. Still a baby and needs more time. I am a big fan of this producer! — 11 years ago
