Wine Critic Reviews

Vinum Wine Magazine (98): Promising bouquet of wild berry jam, with a subtle hint of undergrowth and vanilla; youthful, tightly knit tannins, the acidity provides the structure, precise evolution, ends on aromas of black cherries and hot stone. Timelessly elegant Sangiovese, excellently made.
