Medium ruby , wide light pink ruby rim . Quite aromatic on the nose with ripe red cherry , hints of thyme , rosemary and mint , with some wet stones hints . On the palate this has good freshness with vibrant acidity , red cherry and cut herbs along with a light stony , mineral character . Ripe , quite light tannins and good raspberry , herbal tinged length . Well made , vibrant and fresh . From now and over the next 3-4 years whilst it retains its youthful fruitiness . — a month ago

Starting to fall in love with these Montepulciano reserves. This is a great one. Dark penetrating extracts of prune and dark tart cherry that unfold in your mouth like a 500 page book. Subtle, fine grained tannins carry the wine for a 3 minute lingering finish. Montepulciano wines are made from a special Sangiovese selection called Prugnolo gentile, a smaller berry with thinner skin than the larger berries from the Sangiovese grosso selection used in Brunello wines from Montalcino. Destiny flavor, needs a bit of an acquired taste , but once adapted they become addictive. — 4 years ago

One more vernatsch/schiava gentile that i deeply enjoy
Simple, honest, that crisp cherry with a tiny bit of bittterness, smooth tannin, great freshness, mineral mood and a feminine body, very attractive, kind of exotic, but familiar...i can't explain
I am sure this bottle will benefit from a couple of years of rest, you can tell there is a texture that is going to flesh out, to become kind of chewy
I reckon this wine is a real bargain, but you need to like the typology — 4 years ago

Very fresh, with lots of salinity, a bit of stone fruit and a herbal whiff. Medium bodied and quite rounded but with zingy acidity and beautiful minerality. Highly drinkable and very nice, indeed. — 6 years ago

It’s incredible how much better this wine is getting with age. The nose is now reminiscent of blueberry pie along with notes of plums and blackberries. The wine is incredibly soft on the palate with just a touch of spice. Soft, smooth, juicy flavors of blackberries, blueberries and plums lead to gentile smoky notes and touches of spice with soft, round acidity. The finish is long and juicy with a lingering touch of spice. This is a spectacular accompaniment to beef enchiladas. — 9 years ago

Dark ruby with cherry and leather aromas. On the bud, it’s full bodied with a long finish. Dark fruit, leather, earth, and nice spice. Great with our Calabrese pizza! — 9 months ago

Surely young, surely delicious !!
I consider the vernatsch, which we call in Italian Schiava gentile, our petit pinot noir.
This is an established label of an old vines version, a rare example of schiava that does age very well.
This is a wine somehow that if you blind taste it you could mistake for a white, absence of tannin and good freshness. With time it builds up a bit of flesh, but it does remains generally a grape to drink when young. Best examples are in the St. Magdalener denomination.
Still i enjoy this label everytime and also the other schiava Girlan produces.
