I couldn't agree more with other reviewers comparing this wine to a Barolo. However, the acidity will not make it enjoyed by everyone...which is to expected with any fine old-world wine. Did not require much decanting (30 minutes will do). Tasted February 2016.

Cortonesi La Mannella Rosso Di Montalcino 2018, D.O.C. Bottle

Tuscany, Italy
$29.95

Last tasted April 2025. Took a while to open up. Tried it in spring 2020 and was still pretty green. Tried again in December 2021 and got a lot smoother and aged pretty well. (October 2024 update: not much change and the wine has gotten pretty flat with limited depth).(April 2025 update: same as October 2024.)
