"È innaturale la complessa matrice che alterna nel bouquet le note di fiori rossi e fiori blu che ricordano l'ibisco, la violetta selvatica e la lavanda. Tanto legno di sandalo si fonde con le amarene sotto spirito in sottofondo ed insieme ne aumentano la complessità. Ma c'è di più in questo vino con pepe bianco, timo e bacche di ginepro nella scultorea matrice sensoriale di un fuoriclasse nato in terra Toscana. Corpo pieno, tannini vellutati quasi setosi nella trama ben si fondono nella struttura e si uniscono al finale che esplode in una chiusura ricca di succosità e fragranza stringendo il profilo dal centro palato in poi in una linea verticale che sembra senza fine! Meglio dal 2022."

"Glänzendes, intensives Rubin. Eröffnet in der Nase mit viel knackiger Beerenfrucht nach Bromb- und Maulbeere, dezente Gewürznoten im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen sehr präzise, viel saftige Frucht, vor allem Brombeere, entfaltet sich mit viel feinmaschigem Tannin, sehr elegant und lange, im Finale nach dunkler Schokolade."

"Una leggenda in Toscana rivela nel calice sentori complessi ed autentici di prugne rosse, cassis, mirto e foglia di tè verde. Mi piacciono le note agrumate in sottofondo che lo rendono giovane e scalpitante aumentandone l'appeal. Corpo pieno, tannini maturi e senza spigoli ed un finale ricco e succoso. Un blend di 85% Sangiovese e 15% Malvasia Nera. Un vino che porto nel cuore. Delizioso ora ma meglio dal 2021 al 2025."
