Nice tart bite and fairly acidic, sweet cherry smell, very fruit forward but resides for awhile, alcohol is bright and overall good complexity but missing a level of cleanness I desire. — 10 years ago
2008 Il Macchione #Vino Nobile Di #Montepulciano aging with dignity and is a beauty to drink now or later. #sogood #wine #italian #winelover #prugnolo — 11 years ago
Earthy aromas mixed with a hint of sour cherry. Very old world on the palate. Lots of earth and acidity. Gentile tannins and just a hint of fruitiness. Short, bright finish. — 11 years ago
This wine was perfect to me. It was sweet and bubbly and bursting full of red fruit flavors. I've been trying a lot of white wines lately which have been delicious, but the red fruit flavors were a great change for me with this one! — 11 years ago
Surprising dessert wine with hints of blueberries jam and licorice: a long lasting bitter-sweet flavor... Malbo gentile is a rare native vintage of Modena hills and Luigi Boni gave us its master interpretations. — 12 years ago
Dry but delicate on pallate. Same prugnolo gentile, canaiolo Nero n mammolo grapes. Vino noble is aged two years in barrel. Needs three for riserva — 12 years ago
A beautiful, slightly darker pink in the glass. Aromas of cherry and rose petals mingle with just a hint of wet stone. A very gentile but refreshing frizzante on the palate with tiny, soft bubbles. Distinctively Pinot flavors of soft cherry, raspberry and currant lead to crisp, clean acidity and a drying minerality. The finish is dry and long with just a touch of tannin. A beautiful and different rose. — 9 years ago
Gentile waxy aromas with notes of white flowers and just a hint of white peach. Juicy on the palate with soft sweetness balanced by crisp, fresh acidity. Flavors of peach and apricot lead to a bright, slightly stony finish with minerality that dances on the tongue. — 10 years ago
Brought this back from our trip to Italy 2014 — 11 years ago

Un nebbiolo dal nord del Piemonte, tipico nel colore e nel corpo ma fine, delicato, gentile, fiori secchi, prugne, spezie, ben bilanciato e godibile fino in fondo nella sua profonda persistenza. la parte alta del Piemonte è da tenere d'occhio perché sforna delle piccole perle — 9 years ago
