We enclose some quotes about this wine:
"The ripening of a very well-treated oak has made it softer, creating a complex, polished and spicy wine. Sangiovese red cherries have darker blackberry fruit, but it opens up minced mushrooms, venison, herbs, walnuts and new bark flavors. It's moderately strong but I'm surprised when I look at the label and find that it contains 15% alcohol. However, it wears it very well, with a long finish that is dominated by spiciness. "- Decanter
"Red cherries on this wine and moist peel. Tighter, more tender and tastier than Mastio. Savoury roasted mushrooms and beef notes. Lovely low, dry tannins. I like the horn with this. 15% alcohol is perfectly balanced!" - Jancis Robinsons
"The best Italian red wine for your summer barbecue." - Forbes
