Drank with my brother and grandmother who was visiting me in Rome, think that was the day we went in the Vatican. Would really recommend a visit to the Vatican — 6 years ago
Peppery nose, with very ripened fruit.
What smells like it’s going to almost be a hotel-esque type of wine, luckily, changes its time once in tickles the tongue.
Dark fruit juggles very well with the delightful acid and tongue depressor tannins. Large and ripe, global warming showing itself easily in the juice. Ripe. Ripe, yet good. — 7 years ago

Cherry Catholic incense leather Vatican blah blah. Yay. — 3 years ago

Color of different shades of purple, a bit cloudy. Nose of Sprite, spice, ripe grape almost like grape juice, and some more dried strawberry. Taste of ample acidity, good amount of tannins, refined sweetness from dark fruits, and some salty mineral. Aftertaste is reminder of the taste, medium long with some more tea or flowering note, some pepper. Not a big fan of the nose, but the taste is actually pretty good. — 6 years ago

Had this in Rome at the cutest little bar, surrounded by Italians : D. Il Sorpasso by the Vatican. Fabulous wine! Not as harsh as a Nebbiolo. Smooth and medium bodied, medium dryness. — 8 years ago
At its best moments, like Vatican incense, spiced red fruit, cinnamon. Needs age. — 10 years ago
Had this one earlier after our day at the Vatican. Was surperb after a long day of art and history with our fab guide Antonio. Excellent with a Diavolo pizza. — 11 years ago
