"The grapes were picked between September 23 and 24, 2006 to produce a wine that then spent some 22 months aging in barriques, a few more in the bottle and was then put on the self. The aroma is very distinct with scents of raw meat, bark, pepper and sweeter spices. A little less evident are the notes of ripe fruit, blackberry and violet on a balsamic background. The mouthfeel is a lashing of freshness in balance with a soft body and a very long persistence of fruit, eucalyptus and spice."

"Molto maturo al naso mostra tanta energia in un'annata difficile ma interpretata egregiamente a San Giusto a Rentennano. I sentori di fragole si fondono a note di amarene, mirtilli pressati e fiori rossi secchi. Il sottofondo potente cela energia nelle note di visciole e caramello fuso. Corpo medio, tannini mordenti e vibranti che arricchiscono la matrice ed un finale verticale ricco nella chiusura e teso nella progressione. Meglio dal 2022."
