"Intense ruby red color with slight garnet reflections. Vinous bouquet with a delicate scent of currant, moderately spicy. Dry, savory and persistent flavor, very pleasant in its harmony." —winemaker
"Fresh and well-meshed, this is a medium-to full-bodied red, with creamy tannins and a rich note of smoke-tinged mineral underscoring the lovely range of ripe black cherry, dried thyme and fig cake flavors and hints of ground cumin and white pepper. This is round and finely balanced, with a long, lingering finish that echoes the spice and mineral detail. Expression of this exceptional land and of one of the most important Italian grapes." —winemaker
