The 2013 vintage of this robust Italian red wine is a blend of 90% Prugnolo Gentile, 8% Canaiolo, 2% Colorino grapes. A robust Italian red wine with savoury, meaty aromas and flavours. Pleasantly bitter black fruit on the palate and finish. Pair with prime rib.

Reviews and Ratings

Mathew rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Terrific
Simon Chen rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

This tastes like a baby brunello with half of the price. It has good acidity and bright red fruits on the palate and finishes with long long tannin. Very balanced and will pair well with tomato-sauce dishes.
Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

On the nose, we have tart black plums as well as red berry, cinnamon, floral notes, cedar, earthy notes, and hints of eucalyptus.

On the palate, we have dark berry, wood, subtle black olive, and coffee at the finish. It is a full bodied wine with tannins that are present and a slightly bitter finish. Lovely wine!

Tasted July 2018

Rich and dark, with solid tannins around modern black fruit.

Red and black fruit and floral aromas with tart cherry, tobacco, and spice on the palate. Finishes with moderate tannins. Tasted July 2018.
