Bright, medium deep red. Pomegranate, redcurrant, cherry pit, sandalwood and a delicate smokiness on the nose; not unlike a high-quality Savigny-les-Beaune. Enters light and easygoing, but the building flavors of raspberry, pomegranate, minerals and underbrush show sneaky concentration and impressive length. This refined wine offers plenty of stuffing yet seems almost weightless, with lively but harmonious acidity nicely lifting the fruit flavors. A beautiful, pure sangiovese in which there's no presence of smoky bitter chocolate, coffee or grilled bacon aromas or flavors. Yet another archetypical wine for those who want to learn what sangiovese from Montalcino is really about. Score - 91. (Ian D'Agata, International Wine Cellar, Oct. 2009 )
