9.1

Great balance between freshness and body. Nose of lemon/lime, ocean air, wet stones. Zippy but clean acid that wraps the full palette and uplifts medium+ body, particularly showing in the mid-palette. — 5 years ago

Long future ahead. This is one of those great, volcanic Anglianicos, and I have never had a young Taurasi that was as compelling. — 5 years ago

Uncomplicated Sangiovese goodness, with juicy red cherries and a light sage note. Clean and a touch short on the finish. — 5 years ago

Final vintage for this one as this wine and all of the other appellations become Alesia in 2016. This is bright fruited with cranberry, spice and mineral. Solid acidity keeps this framed nicely, just entering an early drinking window and will hold several years. — 5 years ago

This producer used excessive reductive wine making techniques for his reds in 2015. I tried the whole line up a year ago. Plenty of mercaptans = volatile sulfur = rotten eggs on the nose - i was shocked at the time and thought these will be a hard sell. So what has changed with an extra year on the bottle - still super stinky nose but the wine tastes fine with traces of tar, roses and black cherry. Quite soft right now. There is a lot going on in this wine and it needs at least an hour of decant! For the restaurant sommeliers on this site - your clients will be shocked at first and the reaction of my Vino friends was mixed. I still like this wine and producer - I bought the 16 - but this is really a wine for the folks who have patience. Pricy! 80$ or so. — 5 years ago
