BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Garnet to pink. Open, slightly oak- dominated nose, yet intense, with black and red fruits and hints of leather and tobacco. Ripe palate, but slightly unbalanced acidity, with some volatile overtones. Fairly green, rustic finish. | 85

Andrew Jefford | Dark black-red; no longer opaque. Lively, fresh red fruits, with a cooler, more curranty style than many of its peers. Pure and sustained. Vivid, deep, searchingly fruity wine, with fresh currant, plum, and strawberry fruits. The bright acid profile is as emphatic as the tannins, hence the vivid style in the mouth. | 89

Anthony Rose | Good medium-ruby intensity of color; typical fresh Sangio berry aromas, with a light herbal hint, juicy-textured berry fruit, medium- to full-bodied, with a light grip of tannins and balancing freshness on the finish. | 91
