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. — 8 months ago
This wine is so young, I suppose, that it needs almost an hour to open up. Until then, it’s an 82 … but once it does it’s got great full, peppery fruit flavor that fills the palate. You just have to be patient…. From WSJ Wines. Tasted 13 January 2023 — 3 years ago
Ro Steakhouse! Great food. Good wine pairing — a month ago
Medium purple in color; raspberries, cherries, and dried herbs on the nose; low acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like tart cherry jolly ranchers, raspberry sauce, and black tea with a long fruity finish. There may be a little residual sugar in this wine, but it's still very good. It's easy drinking for anyone that likes sour candies. It could use a little more acidity. Nellie doesn't like it because it's sour. I love it. — 2 years ago
First 2024 wine!! This is really excellent - haven’t had this grape (albana) before. Orange but in the way that I like - no overly “natural” funk and instead just excellent stony fruit and some great grip. Very juicy and almost savory with a long finish. Great value at $22. — 5 months ago
Delicious. Smooth. Oaky, peppery, 40% tennat, others fill in. So good. — 9 months ago
One of the wines that was most often awarded Tre Bicchieri throughout the years by Gambero Rosso. I can certainly see why. Fruit is still kicking, but at this stage it takes the backseat to complex savory and earthy notes with touch of smoke and red floral.
Rich and velvety on the palate. Candied long finish.
A blend of Cab, Cab Franc and Merlot. — 2 years ago
Aged in 500 and 1000l tonneaux and botte. More complex but maintains the house style for Nebbiolo with a more skeletal presentation. About 30 days in skins and shows the slightly more rusty color thisb exteneded maceration might suggest Some might say delicate/aromatic and polished, I want a little more primary fruit. — 3 years ago

94+ take everything you like about a great Chianti Classico and turn it up a notch or 2 but it still maintains grace and elegance. This is technically their Riserva as it was called that previously but they pulled out of the Consorzio. — 2 months ago
