This is a very elegant style of Brunello. Nose has sultry macerated dark cherry, terra cotta tile earthiness, some gorgeous sweet spice notes. In the mouth it’s soft, medium-full, and has some nice complexity. Notes of earthy gravel and porcini mushroom to go along with the rich fruit. Tannins are soft but still provide a nice tactile reference point. Acids are soft. Lengthy finish. — 2 months ago

Wonderful Italian red. Angelina and I both like it very much. Warm and fruity without being overly sweet. Light spicy. — 9 years ago

Nice - not spectacular. Shy nose of candied cherries and earth. A little tight on opening - fully expressive in about 3 hours. Palate of raspberries, candied cherries, mossy undergrowth and minerals, rounded out by a kick of clove spiciness. Tannins were grippy but not overwhelming. — 2 years ago

Dark and deep. Fine tanins and not to chalky balanced wine was short on the palate though — 7 years ago

Lo stappi e le ciliege della tintilia balzano fuori dalla cornucopia, il colore è quello del montepulciano solo un più trasparente. Le note balsamiche importanti di erbe aromatiche e sottobosco. Le spezie si fanno sentire on grande pulizia, il pepe nero e i chiodi di garofano. Caldo e rotondo, fresco leggermente sapido e minerale, fine, elegante nonostante il frutto importante e i tannini fini e golosi.. Pulitissimo. — 10 years ago

Almost great from Michele Chiarlo Cipressi Nizza Barbera d’ Asti/Alba...of one terroir...I can’t tell the difference even while being there...BUT the Italians can...w/Passion. 2016 vintage. From the land of Piedmont’s best of class...medium-full-bodied-dry-fruit-perfect balance- tannins-acidity-color-nose yada yada (that’s Italian) — 5 years ago

2010 brings the fruit! Did i mention that a full 750 also went into the braising sauce?
