Bought this not really knowing what to expect. Bright red fruit on the nose with some black fruit and funk at the tip of the tongue, very deep ruby with no fading on the edges. Shockingly high acidity, very bright red berries dominates the palate with surprisingly grippy (although a little rough, but small) tannins for how young it is. Kinda almost tastes like a good cherry candy. Blackberry on the middle of the palate and herbaceous, vegetal notes at the end that's gasoline-like. Mild minerality that lingers at the end of the palate. This wine is kinda in your face unashamed of it! — 17 days ago

Very drinkable and nicely-aged Etna rosso. Nice bright and refreshing acidity (med+ to med-high), light bodied, low tannins. Fresh red fruit on the tip of the tongue followed by forest floor and leather/rubber, some minerality. — 4 months ago

Yet another ripasso. Vibrant and bright on the palate, med-high acidity, bright red fruits - tart cherries, loads of it. Some herbacious funk (cinnamon and anise) towards the end of the Softer body than other ripassos with med-low tannins, mellows out gently without falling off a cliff, but also not particularly long-bodied. Definitely a much more elegant ripasso than a lot of the others I've had. — 7 months ago

Nice spice to the nose. Oak on the front with cassia and red fruit, med+ acidity, high grippy tannins, full body blackcurrant on the back. Gravelly minerality but smooth. It's good, but I think I still prefer right bank Bordeaux's lol. — a month ago

A solid 2019 vino nobile. Fragrant, dark pepper notes and woodiness more than red fruits. Soft but grippy tannins, med+. — 4 months ago

A little too heavily oaked - feels a bit artificial? — 2 months ago
