Smooth, lovely finish that grows in complexity. Grass, lemon, grapefruit, and some garlic butter. — 7 years ago
This red blend was instantly delicious, with blackberry, sour cherry, and vanilla. Italian meals at Vito’s always favor wine; but this one is better than others. — 8 years ago
Some fruit and seriousness. Nose has depth. Some complication but good wine not great. — 10 years ago

Label has some style. Bit like a department store ad though. Dope color. Deep dark maroon. Seems to be holding up since 2018. Aroma of dark berries and savory foods. Maybe a hint of wet plants and maybe some mud. Flavors are mountain berries and açaí berries. Maybe a hint of basil. Cherry from the sweet side of fruit too. This is a great example of why Montepulciano has been an up and comer in Italia. Complex, balanced and juicy. Plenty of acids and good tannic structure. Really well made vino. Salute. — 8 months ago
Robust blackberry and oak, moderately dry, with a smooth finish. Great value. — 6 years ago
Wow. $8. This is a fairly decent Douro and a steal at < $15 let alone <$10. Med-full with good length and med tannins. — 9 years ago

Old world verve, but new world taste. Unripened plum, but overly ripened black cherries savour. Like this Wine. And I hate it. — 11 years ago
Liked this. Salt and pepper.
Fruit a bit milder than most Chianti’s.

Fresh fruit, new oak. A really enjoyable, well put together wine. — 4 years ago
Subte blueberry aromas, almost nondescript nose. Bold blackberries with a kick of wood thereafter. Round and sweet, not tannic. Really enjoyed it, more so given the price (consumed with steak). — 6 years ago
Nice tannins, very nice. — 8 years ago
Ottimo viatico a sua Maestà la Fiorentina! — 9 years ago

Respeita a força natural desse vinho. Chakana é o nome Inca para a constelação do Cruzeiro do Sul, que regia o seu calendário agrícola. Representa a compreensão e o respeito pela força da natureza. — 11 years ago
