Tasting notes / Reviews: It has a rich, brilliant garnet red colour. Its nose appears candid, elegant and strong, evoking tobacco, spice, liquorice and fruit. In the mouth it appears full, rounded, strong bodied and well balanced.
"It starts out full and warm on ripe cherry-led aromas with minerally, earthy undertones. The lingering, deeply harmonious palate has well-modelled tannins and confirms the wine as a fine interpretation of the vintage." Gambero Rosso, Italian Wines 2007
