Great round flavor, slight acidic aftertaste — 6 years ago
The 2022 Rosso di Montalcino is cool-toned and fresh, with a cascade of perfumed florals, white smoke and dried strawberries forming its bouquet. It is soft-textured and round, with vibrant acidity and juicy wild-berry fruits that cascade throughout. Violet and lavender tones linger as the 2022 finishes spicy and spry with a gentle tug of fine tannin. (Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2024)

I pulled something absolutely beautiful Friday night. Even though 2015 was declared as the greatest vintage ever for Brunello, the 2016s must come in as a close second greatest.
2016 Azidenda Agricola Pietroso, Riserva, Brunello di Montalcino. I received this wine as part of the @antica_terra Collective Membership’s second shipment. Antica Terra described this wine as “not the brooding, rich and dense side of Brunello. This high-toned beauty, is ready for enjoyment now.” The nose on this was incredible. I couldn’t help but smile while enjoying this one with a friend.
Love my Collective bottles from Antica Terra. Here’s to not waiting for reasons to open beautiful bottles. — 2 years ago

For some reason this app insists that the 2018 is the 2013. I can’t seem to correct it. But I opened the 2018 on Nov of 2024.
Nice but not great. Lots of herbaceous scents on the nose plus a mild scent of leather. A wee bit of red fruit on the front. Medium tannic structure. Lots of lemony high notes kick in on the mid palate. hints of mint on the finish. This is a well-balanced wine, and there’s nothing objectionable about it. But it’s in no way memorable. — 25 days ago
