Very nice Chianti which greatly benefited from over an hour of decanting. Wished I cellared it a bit longer and found out what it would have become :). Tasted July 2012.

A little bit disappointed with this Nebbiolo-based wine. Very thin and limited complexity with too much acidity. Not worth the $30. Tasted October 2017.

Easy to drink (fine tannins) but limited length & complexity. Good for pizza night but not for a refined holiday dinner. Better on the next day. Tasted December 2016.

Nice every day Italian wine, but I wouldn't call it a "Super" Tuscan, even though it is 55% Sangiovese, 25 Shiraz and 20% Merlot. Tasted April 2016.
