Blown away by these Canary Island wines. Quality and affordability in such young wines...if only they were distributed more widely. A bit more texture than the Vina Zanata Listan Negro but every bit as powerful. A no brainer for a full table of tapas. — 8 years ago
Richer and thick almost as blood, some funk — 9 years ago
A wine we purchased in 2008 at Le Volpe e L'uva in Firenza, this wine is Italy. I think this is the only producer that makes a bottling of pure tintilia del molise, this is a really interesting wine reminiscent of a rosso di montalcino with the power of a montepulciano d'abruzzo. Remakrkable power after 10 years, this is drinking surprisingly well. A terrific wine that is Italy in a glass. Fantastic! — 9 years ago
Complex and worth decanting to allow to breath. Will try again when sober. — 11 years ago
Very light berry on the nose but smooth as silk on the tongue. Cool melted vanilla spice. Lovely. — 8 years ago
Pronounced black cherry and plum nose, with anise, pepper and crushed stone notes. Ample, brambly blueberry and black raspberry on the palate, with good acidity. Bursting with juicy goodness, some--but not too much--grip, and a 40+ second finish with spice and mineral. A real beauty. My one wish, if any, would be for just a bit less residual sugar. — 9 years ago
Lo stappi e le ciliege della tintilia balzano fuori dalla cornucopia, il colore è quello del montepulciano solo un più trasparente. Le note balsamiche importanti di erbe aromatiche e sottobosco. Le spezie si fanno sentire on grande pulizia, il pepe nero e i chiodi di garofano. Caldo e rotondo, fresco leggermente sapido e minerale, fine, elegante nonostante il frutto importante e i tannini fini e golosi.. Pulitissimo. — 10 years ago
Direct to press red. Color of Pinot Noir. Fantastic! — 11 years ago
Easy drinking, something one could expect from ripasso. Full body, fruit forward and enough acidity to make the wine feel fresh. — 8 years ago
