Great wine. Gran selezione is always a bit underwhelming to me but this one holds its own.

Needed a lotttt of time to open up and could use a few more years in the bottle. But the acidity is awesome! Paired really nicely with aged Beemster.

Dark ruby with notes of dark cherries, forest floor, and plum. On the bud, cherries and stewed fruits. Nicely balanced and smooth long finish. Great from the restaurant balcony at Le Vecchie Mura in San Gimignano!!!

Dry and powerful. On the nose: cherry and earth. On the palate: fresh red fruits and anise. Nice lenght and good complexity, with a savory aftertaste.
