BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Garnet to tawny, pink. A touch closed on the nose, earthy, with ripe yet lively small red fruits, blackberries, leather, smoked red meat, and hints of dried herbs. A full-bodied and ripe palate, with balanced acidity but a rather challenging, bitter, rustic finish. Needs time. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Clear black-red. Warm, ripe, generously enticing fruits in rounded, soft guise. A little soft meatiness and fungal earth, too, as a style note. Bright, clean, and concentrated, with ample dry currant, plum, and prune fruit; a relatively generous tannin structure, too. This firm, emphatic wine clearly carries the warmth of the year on its broad shoulders. | 90

Anthony Rose | A quite evolved garnet hue to the rim; medium-intense aromatics; clean, juicy, textured Sangiovese fruit quality, nice balancing acidity, and subthreshold oak. | 89
