A house favorite, even when I leave the house. The fruit is fresh and vibrant, tannins are fully integrated, and enough acid punch left to foil well with Osso Bucco. Likely a one-hit wonder from this relatively unknown producer in Umbria. — 7 years ago
Just a baby. Tons of tannin and acidity. Umbrian Sangio's are much bolder. A whiff of Brett also, so tons of aromatics here. Totally needs food to explore it's reach. — 9 years ago
I was thinking Cab on this one, and just as surprised as others that this was a '97. Drinking very young. I've enjoyed a number of Umbrian wines, but was not familiar with this producer. Will keep an eye out for these at auction.
This was by far the most difficult wine to identify in the blind red flight. I thought it might be a Sicilian Nero D'Avola or maybe a Montepulciano or Amarone. It is an infant at age 20. A lot of classy underpinnings but still quite volatile, closed and a little sharp. Dark as night and moody AF.
