Old world wine with new world fruit. Classic old world barnyard bite followed by an explosion of dark cherry fruit. Great complexity and structure, long finish leaves yo hanging for the next sip. Agree with all comments about great value here.

Très beau et bien à point. Se dévoile après 1h d’aération, sur les cerises noires séchés, les fleurs séchés, la réglisse Bouche concentrée, ample et bien intégré. Finale vineuse et d’une belle richesse.

Bought a bottle just to try. Decanted two hours. No mistaking an Old World nose of dirt, must, mold & wet leaves. First sip was an explosion of red fruits. Medium mouth feel and heavier than I expected. Great QPR at $35. I think it’s just as good as their Saffredi which costs much more. Nice lingering finish. Paired with Char Siu marinated cross cut ribs which was a nice pairing. No hesitation at this price. Good for a different expression of Sangiovese relative to Brunello or Chianti.

Nice floral nose. Sangiovese bursts out of the glass. Nice performance after a small decant.

Very very nice wine, ageing very well and likely to get even better.
Cherries, spices a hint of smoke, perfect with artichokes.
