The 2017 Montefalco Rosso Riserva Pipparello bursts from the glass with smoky grilled herbs, shaved cedar, dried cherries, currants, hints of spiced citrus… the list goes on and on. It washes across the palate with soft, fleshy textures and masses of balsamic-tinged dark red fruits, yet at the core, stimulating acidity creates a wildly energetic expression. This finishes remarkably long and potent, already providing pleasure through its primary components. The 2017 has a long story to tell, as grippy tannins slowly resolve under an air of rosy inner florals. This is Pipparello on steroids. (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2022)

Wow. Like Chianti, but not. Black cherry and plum, balsamic and spice. Umami. Long finish. Perfect with Vivace carry out. Thanks Pearly Baker for the great selection.

Hibiscus on nose. Black cherry, spice. Tannin bomb. Perfect with an assortment of dishes from Vivace, but requires food. Thanks to Pearly Baker Fermentables.
