Oh there is a lot going on here. We love the dark cherries, tobacco, dried herbs, and spice here. This one really puts the noble in Vino Nobile. Fantastic with your favorite Italian fare.

What experts say about this wine

100

James Suckling

Subtle roasted spices are chiselled to the pomegranate and grapefruit notes with some savory berries, sage and crushed stones. The taut and transparent center palate is followed by a long and minerally ethereal finish. Beguilingly light in form, but intense with flavors. “Pinot” finesse here. From biodynamically grown grapes.

Wine Spectator

Packed with fresh cherry, raspberry, tobacco, spice and mineral flavors, this red is sinewy and compact. Bracing acidity and dusty tannins line the long, chalky finish. Best from 2026 through 2042.
