Opulent and sexy with underlying structure and fine fruit. Pure expression of Fiorita and drinking beautifully at present.

2Q18, magnum, drinking fantastically. Never had anything from this vintner, but was in the restaurant and saw this for a ‘reasonable’ price - as good as you would expect!

Kicked off Barolo-ish with high acidity, but all the fruit you could want after that. Would not have called it Sangiovese blind.

Warm & smooth, with a little hit of tannins for Thomas.

Waaaay too young. Super tannic and tight. Needs 5 years at least.

After a bit of breathing it improved remarkably. Very solid.
