Excellent Bordeaux blend from Italy. In fact, it's difficult to tell that this is not a French wine. Huge red fruit, but it is the Cabernet Franc (19%) that really stands out in this blend; it makes the wine earthy and more complete, and the 6% Petite Verdot adds depth and makes it as black as a moonless night.

really enjoyed this wine with homemade pizza. Classic Bordeaux Right bank style blend w/ merlot dominate which gives it a supple and smooth taste/finish.

Straight forward fruity wine with a lot of alcoholic bite. It has a deliciousness factor and fruit and alcohol to keep it going, perhaps lacking additional structural elements.

Decanted 1 hr. Drank over 2 days. Day 2 was about the same as day 1. Consistent, well balanced tastes of darker fruits.

Well balanced, grippy tannins, red fruits, long finish. Needs a good amount of time to breath so open up well beforehand. Curious to try again after some more time in cellar

Needs time to open up. Took nearly 2 hours to truly hit its peak . Once it opened up, it’s firing on all cylinders Blackberry, leather, tobacco, earthy and a bit of dark chocolate. Aged beautifully, and yet still has plenty left in the tank. Arguably the best right bank from Tuscany for the price!

Very smooth & rich. Good by itself and with meal - shrimp in spicy tomato sauce.

As this was my last of 3 bottles I planned to let this age but I couldn't resist. Super Tuscan of 61%Merlot, 19% CF, 14% CS, and 6% PV. The fresh, ripe, juicy fruit is what really stands out for me along with the luscious mouthfeel. Red cherry, dark berries, leather, forest floor.

A wonderful Super Tuscan. 61% Merlot, 19% CF, 14% CS, 6% PV. A blend that matches my palate. Very smooth and lots of fresh ripe red and dark berries. Lush, silky mouth feel. Great structure, finish and just enough complexity to grab your attention. Age worthy.

Had this wine at a local Italian restaurant. I enjoyed it, but it needed more time to open.
