Old school rustic Italian, quite dark fruited, salty. Medium body. Very tannic on the back end, very structured wine. Substantial acid. Needs a couple hours of air to come together and show properly. Pair with 🍝 for a pretty pretty good time. // turns into something special on day 2 — 7 years ago
12'Casavecchia Alla Piazza Buondonno Campo ai Ciliegi Toscana IGT Syrah. I've tried dozens of wines in Tuscany under €40. This wine is worth twice the price! A truly can't miss wine! Recommend highly! Edit- I've already ordered the 2013 to be delivered to my home. At €20 !! Can you say party pleaser👍. — 9 years ago
This is not a blend, but 100% Casavecchia. Upon opening, the volcanic smokiness is immediately fragrant, and slightly perfumed. Dark berries, tannins, and minerals woven together. Delicious winter red!🍷 Also 👍 the very graphic designy label ...
Had the rest of the bottle with broiled salmon, cashew olive vinaigrette, wild mushrooms and polenta. It became veeeery mellow on day 2. Even better! — 5 years ago

Full-bodied. Dark fruits. Earthy. Bold. It's the heavy hitter favorite of the evening! — 8 years ago
Great representation of CCR, but for the money I'd go for their non-riserva. — 8 years ago

This isn’t usually my favorite varietal but really liked this one - great flavor, well balanced, bit of fruit but not overwhelming. — 5 years ago
