"The Devil's horne" is the name of this red wine, due to the high slope of this vineyard in Canneto Pavese (Italy).
Buttafuoco is a blend of 4 different grapes: Croatina, Barbera, Uva rara and Ughetta di Canneto.
Deep color, intense fragrance of prune, red peach and pomegranate.
Full-bodied, power tannins texture, long persistance.
The 15,5 % alcohol is really well balanced, I didn't believe it! (2016 was a very warm summer). — 7 years ago

Caratteristiche: colore rosso rubino molto intenso con riflessi granata. Profumo ricco, complesso, di notevole concentrazione e spessore; si evidenziano in particolare sentori di frutta rossa e piccoli frutti, di sottofondo alcune spezie mentose, vaniglia e liquirizia. Sapore generoso, di gran corpo e notevole struttura, perfetto amalgama dei caratteri del vitigno e dell’apporto del legno, in un insieme di grande morbidezza e gran classe. Accompagna grandi piatti di carne, arrosti, anche con salse, formaggi stagionati. — 12 years ago

Citrus nose, some banana. Great flavor. Nice acidity and well balanced. Some banana in the flavor and lingers on the ending, too. — 10 years ago
Too young. Thought I'd pulled an 01 Bricco Manzoni. But loads of potential. Nice stuff. — 12 years ago
