Bruce Sanderson - Wine Spectator
"Packed with vivid black cherry, black currant and plum fruit, as well as iron, sanguine and tobacco accents, this red shows some power and tension, but also grace and balance. The lingering aftertaste features bright, ripe fruit and wild herbs. Best from 2027 through 2043. 2,000 cases made, 680 cases imported."

Dense and compact in its sensory matrix of remarkable stylistic character, it recalls black plums, cinchona, incense, bergamot, lime, juniper berries, sage and marjoram. In the background, the layered soul shows a decisive officinal presence mixed with the ematic character typical of great Sangiovese wines. A subtle reductive opaque presence complexes the matrix, protecting it from the unwanted action of time. Medium-full body, perfectly ripe, biting and viscous tannins and a finish of extreme grace and stylistic precision. A true thoroughbred. Best since 2026.

The northeast quadrant of the ‘hill’, the beautiful sustainable project by Siro Pacenti, labels of rare reliability as confirmed by this reference, the product of the youngest vines. Black cherry on the nose, nuances of wild mint and white pepper. Intense sip, iodized, with a return of sweet spices

Beautiful fresh fruit with crushed cherries, orange peel and flowers. Pure. Full-bodied with round and juicy fruit and a long, creamy finish. Flamboyant and beautiful with velvety and creamy tannins that provide a wonderful texture. Drink after 2027.
"Lots of structure and true pedigree from the northern section of Montalcino. Higher tone red fruits enveloped by French oak accents of toffee and vanilla." - Importer
