"Intensiv-leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase dezent im Ausdruck, leichte Wald- und Kirschfrucht, Lack, ein Hauch edles Leder, würzig, nach etwas Belüftung wieder fruchtbetont nach reifen Erdbeeren. Am Gaumen dann vordergründige, reife rote Beerenfrucht, mit sattem Schmelz, auch druckvoll, sollte man noch weglegen."

"La leggera riduzione nel calice definisce un'opalescenza che dona intrigo ed attira l'attenzione. I sentori di prugne nere, ribes e lamponi lentamente si fanno spazio tra la vivacità del succo di arancia e rivelano l'animo principale di questa giovane Riserva. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini maturi precisi nell'estrazione ed un finale caldo ed avvolgente di notevole bellezza. Meglio dal 2021."

"Nuanciert kirschfruchtig und kräuterwürzig mit einer ersten zarten Reifepatina. Mehliger, mürber Gerbstoffdruck, kräftiger Alkohol, milde Säure, mollig und kompakt, eine mürbe, auf Zugänglichkeit vinifizierte Riserva, die schon bald trinkbar sein wird."

"Balsamisches Duftbild mit gereifter Frucht von eingelegten Süßkirschen. Assam-Tee, Rumtopf, Orangenzesten und dunkler Schokolade. Gaumenwärmender, fülliger Saft mit etwas aufrauendem Tannin, aber solider würziger Länge."

"Brilliant hue with ruby highlights. Nicely open nose suggestive of wild black fruits with balsamic undercurrents. Open, full palate showing sizeable volume. Oak influence is revealed on the finish. A wine that shows at its best with food."

"The grapes for this Riserva are grown in family-owned vineyards in Castellina in Chianti and the blend is mostly Sangiovese with 10% made up of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The color is a luminous ruby and the bouquet intense and fruity, above all black cherry, with a floral component typical of Sangiovese. The mouthfeel is fresh and the wine easy to drink, with a velvety flavor and nice length. It should be served slightly cooler than usual, around d 16°C, and is great with a classic grilled Tuscan T-bone steak."

"Estremamente intrigante nel profilo misto floreale e fruttato mostra un'energia bohémien con note di fiori rossi pressati, lamponi, ribes maturi e succo di arancia. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini rotondi ed un finale succoso che mette d'accordo comunicatori e consumatori finali. Ben fatto. Bevi ora."

"More herbal and spicy than fruity, as the nose shows cumin and molasses in spades. Seems a touch stewed, with flavors of black-cherry jam, dates and brown sugar. A heavyweight in that the palate is soft and the body creamy."
