The Story

A magnificent Central Italian red wine displaying a deep, dense ruby red color that promises immense elegance and ageability. Hailing from the legendary, highly acclaimed 2016 vintage, this classic expression opens with an expansive and complex bouquet of ripe wild berries, blackberry preserves, and fragrant violets, beautifully layered with refined regional undertones of tanned leather, sweet tobacco leaf, cedar wood, and a savory whiff of Mediterranean brush. On the palate, it balances a powerful, fleshy fruit core and a vibrant, linear mountain acidity with tight-knit, velvety tannins, concluding in a remarkably persistent, harmonious, and mineral-flecked finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with prime cuts of roasted red meat, slow-braised wild boar or venison, rich truffle dishes, and long-aged Pecorino cheeses.


94 Points - James Suckling

Black-cherry and black-mushroom with bark and mahogany aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and focused with a firm, chewy finish. Give it two or three years to soften. Try after 2024.

94 Points - Wine Spectator

This red is intense, featuring incisive aromas of macerated cherry and plum, leather, earth and juniper flavors. A tad rustic, burly tannins line the finish, yet stay fresh and anchored on the fruit component. Shows excellent length. Best from 2025 through 2045.

93 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Baked plum, dark-spice and forest-floor aromas mingle with whiffs of crushed mint. Fleshy and concentrated, the chewy palate doles out mouthfuls of raspberry jam, licorice and tobacco before an espresso finish. It's already surprisingly accessible, with rounded, fine-grained tannins. Drink through 2028.
