After my third or fourth bottle of this wine I'll say that each bottle lands a bit differently. I like it, like almost all Sangiovese based wines, but its not great. It's a high acid wine from ripe grapes (14.5% ABV) but oddly it lacks depth or much of a "fruit" component. Overripe, perhaps, some tannins, but out of balance without delivering much pleasure. Well, maybe I won't buy any more of these !!

Fantastic, delicious and wonderful. A great expression of the highly versatile Chenin Blanc. Full bodied, slightly sweet, opulent fruit and mild acidity. Balanced and immediately enjoyable on its own or with the meal.
Agree with the previous comment on ageability of this bottle, wish I had more !!

Opened for two days now, this bottle still delivers pleasure. A lot of wine for the money and at 12.5% easy to enjoy. Tannic, acidic with just enough fruit. Very dry on the palate, best with food, pretty typical Aglianico. I like that it is already showing some sediment, definitely not over filtered.
