High acid. It has that umami good good that I look for in a rustic Italian. Dried oregano. Tart cherry. A good value for sure. — 12 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Gorgeous on both days. The 2019 Grumello “Rocco de Piro”pours a brilliant, ruby color with a transparent core and a slightly watery rim; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of cool, fresh raspberries, roses with babies breath, Alpine herbs, cedar chest, and rocky earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and the texture is silky. Such a beautiful and elegant expression of Chiavennasca. Drink now through 2034. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 5 months ago

Hi everyone! This is lovely (rare descriptor for me). Medium red brick color, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol but subtle. Nice acidity, and tannins make this absolutely drinkable right now-- 8/26/25 my 58th birthday, forgot to give everyone my new Miami address for bottled gifts 😜 . Certainly floral notes on both the nose and palate, but not rose, some cedar overtones, with an enjoyable minerality. It's lovely because it all comes together like a beautiful gift basket (pun not intended) that would impress a royal lady, but stand up proud for a gentleman. It will improve, but you don't have to let it!

Vintage 2019 | Blend of Sangiovese, Cab Sauvignon and Merlot. Mesmerizing smell. Black cherries. Spices. Old Forrest. Hint of gingerbread. Well balanced taste, beautiful acidity, frivolous, elegant. Paired with coda alla vaccinara. — 5 months ago

Trader Joe’s Classic!!!! This usually stinks. But not in this stellar 2021 vintage. Not super complex but more on the elegant side. I would think this will age for 10 years or so. After 24 hours even better and more convincing. Quite tannic! Grab it by the case while it is there the 2022 will be awful (my prediction). And at 20 bucks…….. — 9 months ago

Fantastic Chianti! Dusty, earthy, expressive, full body. What else? Dark fruit carried by notes of leather, cigar box. Crazy, all that for a Chianti, how is that possible 🤓. — 4 years ago

Crisp, very peachy, a little floral . Maybe white peach or mimosa? Nice acid but balanced. — 3 months ago

This bottle was right in the zone, compared to a very youthful bottle last year. Well balanced, soft and round. I would drink my other bottles in the coming two/three years. — 4 months ago

Delicious Chocolate over dried fruit notes with nice dry floral notes. A very nice nebbiolo without face ripping tannins- a good sipper but also would pair well with the lighter side of Italian foods. — 5 months ago
