Not yet reviewed; 2021 vintage rated 92+ points by Eric Guido (Vinous): "Vibrant black cherry, raspberry preserves, cedar shavings and dusty earth form a wildly attractive bouquet as the 2021 Rosso di Montalcino opens in the glass. This is like pure velvet on the palate, yet spicy and intense, with a stern core of minerality and zesty acidity that adds a sense of boundless energy. This turns savory, nearly salty, finishing with a staining of licorice and spice as gently grippy tannins resonate. This is fantastic and built for medium-term cellaring. Drink: 2025-2030." Producer notes: "The land covers 25 hectares, divided into 12 ha of vineyards, 4 ha of olive groves and the rest is fallow land and woodland. The vineyards are at an altitde of 310-400m. above sea level, and for these great care has gone into selecting the optional exposure. The vines are Sangiovese known locally as Brunello and range from 6 to 25 years old. Three hectares have recently been planted with Merlot and Cabernet. The land is very poor organically though rich in lithoid components. Geologically it is galestro from cretacic era."
