Wow, what a fantastic Primitivo/Zinfandel! Tasting blackberries (very fruity but dry) and a bit of red pepper berry. Full-bodied, modest tannins. Absolutely would buy this again. Purchased at Clos. — 24 days ago

Kind of disappointed...maybe my expectations were too high? Not as complex and layered as I would have hoped for. — 12 days ago

Vigorously poured into a decanter about 30 minutes prior to service; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2017 Gabutti “Pie Rupestris” pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with heavy notes of ripe and tart Morello cherry, fresh cut roses (stems and all!), tar, dried herbs, exotic eastern spices, talcum powder and dried earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, though everything seems to be enhanced on the palate; powerful! The finish is super long. This is a gorgeous example of 2017 Barolo and likely one of the very finest of the vintage. Drink now through 2067. — 4 months ago

First granny Smith apple with a lemon lime spritzer then a tart grapefruit with a mouth watering acidic, tongue, zinging finish well in between some nuances of herbs and greens just begging for another sip — 25 days ago

Seems very light but actually taste is rich and the wine has strong tannins. Surprisingly mature smell. — 4 months ago

No notes but an excellent Sangiovese centric blend; quite muscular with 6yrs of age showing nicely. Big wine for big food. — 9 months ago
