Ruby color with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather, oak and floral notes, blended from 3 vineyards, long skin maceration. On the palate flavors of black cherry, currants and raspberry with notes of pepper, floral and mint. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft sweet chewy tannins ending with fruit and earthy notes. Just starting to drink now! Will continue to age. — 10 months ago

A failed blind, but it was WOTN for me and most on the table! Roses and tar notes along with substantial acid and grip (although elegant) found me firmly in Piedmont. Should have known - it’s not the first time I’ve mistaken a Sangiovese for a Nebbiolo (and notably more so than the other way around). Blind aside, the wine itself definitely had everyone on the table buzzing with excitement when first poured. So aromatic and complex, with notes of dark red cherries, roses, tar, smoky incense, and liquorice. Robust tannins on the palate, yet there’s a real airiness to the wine. Beautiful energy with the underlying mineral streak. Just pure drinking pleasure!
NB: From what I understand, the “Cielo” now replaces the Rosso, which will no longer be made at the winery. The “Cielo” is a blend of different plots. — 3 months ago
Along with the majestic 2010 one of my favorite Stella vintages. So giving right off the bat, never any heat even in this warm vintage, just so fresh and clean wafting stunning perfumed aromatics with an elegant, detailed and voluminous palate. Always an amazing expression of Sangiovese. — 6 months ago
