Winemaker Notes

Aromas of blackberry jam, pepper, clove, and vanilla. Powerful yet elegant; bold tannins hint at the ability for long aging.

Try with roasted meat, preferably one with a bit of fat content, game and beef stew.

Professional Ratings

92 James Suckling

Aromas of dark cherries and red plums with dried herbs, spices, bark and nutmeg on the nose. Medium- to full-bodied, dry and a little chewy with firm, chalky tannins and juicy dark fruit. Layered and structured.

90 Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of blackberry, cassis, and clove open the nose of this classic wine from Umbria. Firm and very structured, the wine’s core is shaped by black-plum compote, with sweet spices, black pepper and dried thyme giving way to firm tannins and lifted acidity.
