Enticing scents of blue flower, woodland berry, moist earth and chopped herb lift out of the glass. The elegant palate delivers juicy black cherry, raspberry, star anise and cinnamon set against a backbone of firm but refined tannins. It’s impeccably balanced, with bright acidity. Hold for even more complexity and to let the tannins unwind. Drink 2020-2033. - Wine Enthusiast Magazine 93 Points
From the Macchia dei Goti single vineyard, 350m above sea level, on clay/limestone soils. Savoury aromas give way to cassis and raspberry; medium-bodied, with smoothly integrated tannins and vibrant acidity, with contrasting blackberry and olive flavours. - Decanter Magazine 93 Points
