Vintage 2023 | Juicy and very quaffable grechetto. Each time I taste this brings me back to a visit to Arnaldo Capraï in Umbria. It is a emotion wine to me. Paired with a schnitzel. — 10 days ago

High QPR! Goes well with many foods but especially any simple Italian fare. One of my go to Italian wines. It’s nice to go beyond Tuscany or Piedmonte. — 2 months ago

Chardonnay is so incredible. Out of Umbria this is showing great terroir. — 16 days ago

Still a lot of tannin, but it presented great fruit and only moderate aged notes. Was really special with beef short rib. — a month ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours and this gained momentum as the minutes rolled by. The 2016 “San Valentino” pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe black and red fruits: black berries, black plum, Morello cherry, spiced meat, old wood, varnish, cumin and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, tangy and slightly savory. These are showing very well at this stage and I don’t expect that to change for many years to come. Drink now with patience (perhaps even a 30min decant) and through 2036. — 21 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2015 pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with fairly significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe black and red fruits: black cherry, mixed bramble berries, spices, horse blanket, espresso…powerful. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and wild. Whoa, the structure is significant. Drink now and through 2040.
