Sipping Fine Wine

9.6

Deep Ruby with aromas of fresh berry fruits, floral and slight spicy notes. Blend of 90% Sangiovese with the rest Canaiolo and Colorino, aged 24 months in oak. Fruit comes primarily from a 2.5 hectare parcel of vines planted in 1982 on a south – southeast facing slope. On the palate cherry and black raspberry flavors, adding lovely floral notes, well balanced with acidity and fine tannins. The finish is long ending with slight earthy smoky minerality. Very Nice!! — 9 days ago

Rubis presque violet. Dense et jeune. Un premier nez presque médicinal, cerise, poivron. Le bouquet est agréable. La bouche est puissante, on sent sa jeunesse. C'est long et sec. L'acidité est bien marqué. Les saveurs de cerises et de cèdre s'entremêlent pour ce vin en début de vie. — 14 days ago

A last minute substitution for a likely flawed bottle of Fèlsina Rancia...Just one of many chances we take when buying wines on the secondary market. 🤷🏻‍♂️ — 21 hours ago

Wild Smokey cherry flavor as if we threw this wine into a cherrywood smoke. Funky but good. — 12 days ago

Garnet core , terracotta , browning rim . Quite tertiary with black tea , sous bois , dried cherry ,old wood , spice , dried sage . Quite good density on the palate , dried red fruits , rose , spiced dried cherry. Fresh acidity and quite gritty tannin , spiced sour cherry and black tea stained finish . This is pretty mature , but though very tertiary on the nose on the palate fills out quite well . Starting to dry out on the finish should have been drunk by now but still holding on , drink now . — 5 days ago
