87 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(done entirely in stainless steel):  Good bright red-ruby.  Pungent cherry and raspberry fruit aromas lifted by flowers, mint and licorice.  Fruity, ripe and creamy, but could use a bit more lift.  Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and a note of mocha.  Winemaker Francesco Versio pointed out that cool temperatures in August caused the grapes to fall, and could have introduced a vegetal character but although this wine shows a very gentle structure, it comes across as reasonably ripe.
