Light pink, with fine bubbles. Nervy blood orange, redcurrant and strawberry aromas are enlivened by notes of clove and cracked pepper. Clean and precise, offering refreshingly bitter red berry skin flavors and very good palate coverage. Finishes brisk and clinging for a wine at this price-for a wine at two or even three times the price, actually. Stephen Tanzer

88pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2016 vintage

Pale orange. Lively scents of fresh red berries, orange zest and rose are complemented by a hint of white pepper. The sappy, spicy and focused palate offers juicy raspberry and cherry flavors that firm up on the back half. Finishes on a subtly sweet note, with good cling and an echo of red berries. (1/21/2016)

N/Apts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2019 vintage

GREAT VALUE 4/25/2019
Bright orange-pink. Musky red berry, blood orange and floral scents show good clarity and pick up a subtle herbal note as the wine opens up. Sappy and focused on entry, offering redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors that deepen and spread out with air. Chewy and nicely concentrated, delivering solid finishing cut and a lingering orange pith note. (aged on its lees for 18 months; Lot # L1723615TC) 2019 – 2020
