...have to disagree with the wine pros in this one. This was fruity yumminess... Looks like a Brunello, smells a fruit orchard... 5-years in oak; you wouldn't know it. Scotty S. holding court at Villagio... — 10 years ago

Had this at mercato di San Lorenzo in Florence. Drank with some remarkable crostini. Pink peppercorns anchovies, stretchy cheese. Great glass , I like this . Minerals. — 7 years ago
Another iconic producer in his 80's making a wine that is very unique. I was able to purchase a few of his older vintages recently but have not yet opened. You get a smorgasbord of flavors with dark fruits a touch of VA, balsamic & lots of spice. The restaurant gives him a whole lamb cooked and separated into single vacuum sealed packs for the opportunity to get 24 btls. — 9 years ago
