Transparent ruby color. Sweet, but elegant. @2200, Osteria, 180309
Good aroma, ripped flavor, but mid body. Good balanced between tanning and acidity. Mid body but robust taste structure! @2200, Osteria, 180719 — 8 years ago
Wow amazing forest floor and mushroom smell but really structured and elegant. Long finish perfectly in balance. Very impressive for 46 year old wine. — 9 years ago
Deep Ruby color with aromas of red and black fruits, floral and smoky oak, mostly Sangiovese with small amounts of Canaiolo, Colorino, and Malvasia Nera, from Rufina subzone. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors with garden herb notes, cacao and tobacco notes. Fine rustic tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and an earthy smoky spice character. Nice! — a month ago
Damn near perfect. Explosive nose of floral rose and wild flowers. Finish once it got going was endless. Really what more can a wine give. Bravo — 8 years ago

I have enjoyed many vintages of the excellent single vineyard Reserva (Bucerchiale) from Selvapiana, but the fruity 2018 is one of the more satisfying ones. Perfumed red and black fruit aromatics soar from the stemware. It is Medium >full, balanced and well structured with crisp acidity and light tannins at the satisfying finish. This Sangiovese star from the Rufina appellation East of Florence, always punches well above its price point. If you’re unaware of it, time to check it out. (It continues to identify it as 2013, but please note it is 2018.)
