Thursday, March 28, 2024 - The first Cepparallo I ever drank. For some a cult wine, for me good, nice and pleasant to drink. But it lacks the depth, complexity and precision of fruit flavors to call this 100% Sangiovese outstanding.
Overrated and despite my limited Sangiovese experience, there are much better things out there.

Had the wine in a hotel restaurant in Engadin/Switzerland and as my Sangiovese reference a 2013 Barbera, which I drank in Montforte d'Alba about 2 years ago:

Looking for a perfect Cepparello, what are the best vintages to look for?
