Outstanding meal at Ophelia in Quebec City. Austere, lean wine. Softened 30 min after opening. — 5 months ago
Ruby in color with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Nice nose and medium plus in body.
Dry on the palate with medium plus acidity.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee, dark chocolates and earth.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 7 year old Sangiovese from Montepulciano is elegant and robust. Feels big, yet not in your face kind of wine.
Well balanced with nice complexity and mouthfeel. The high alcohol is well integrated.
This Single Vineyard will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
100% Sangiovese grapes were aged in large Croatian oak barrels for 2 years. A small production of only 4,000 bottles.
15% alcohol by volume.

70% Sangiovese, 20% Cab S and F, 10% Merlot for me this is an amazing wine. Picked it up at the Mercado in San Remo without any knowledge. Paired it with a perfectly grilled cotoletto Bavarese. The wine is coffee, milk chocolate, dark ripe fruit in the nose. The palate very balanced in fruit, acid and a bit of wood. Perfect now from a 375 bottle. — 4 months ago

Medium deep ruby with garnet rim . Freshly cut herbs like sage and rosemary with cedar , plum and dark cherry , liquorice . On the palate quite dense but with fresh acidity and firm slightly dry tannins . More of the plum and dark spiced cherry , blackberry, herbal and liquorice touches on the reasonable length finish . Drinking well now though will continue to show well over the next 5 years . Slightly under the radar with good personality and surprising freshness . — 5 months ago
This wine will evolve into one of the best Brunello di Montalcino’s, just spin a bit too tight at this moment to show off the exceptional aromatics and structure. Dried red and white rose petals, English breakfast tea, charred plum, Cohiba cigar. — 7 months ago
