I’m enjoying this way too much for $30.

From the originators of Brunello, this super is named after a famous volcanic rock. And it’s true to those origins. It’s strong and earthy, but not too dirty and old. It has those leather and tobacco notes that I want but it’s balanced with a beautiful floral arrangement, primarily violet and wildflower.

Nicely developed, saddle leather and dried cherries. Lacking a little something on mid palate but delicious for the price (35€)

Tannins. Light to medium. I love shopping for good values in over priced shops.

Light/medium, not quite as big as expected but very delicious. Had it with steak but probably would pair better with chicken or lamb.

Easy and nice. Liked the taste of dried fruit. A bit pricey.
