Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Full-bodied red, showing dark red fruit and plums on nose, followed by a rustic palate showing plums, cedar, tea, vanilla and herbs. Fairly tannic.
Tasted May 2017
Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 86/100 with the following review:

Nice bargain for a simple party pleasing Italian red. Sweet black cherry, mild spice notes and moderate tannins profile this wine. Enjoy this light-bodied classified Italian table wine with salami and hard cheeses.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
