Wine Reviews

The 2018 Turlo mixes notes of raspberry, mint leaf and hints of rose to create a fruity and inviting bouquet. It’s soft-textured and silky-smooth, with ripe red and blue berries coasting along a core of juicy acidity. Violet florals and hints of lavender linger long as this tapers off pleasantly refreshing. The Turlo, a no-frills blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, is geared for early consumption and ready to please.

The fruit is very primary and bright for a 2016, featuring fresh blueberries, and there’s also an overlay of something more herbal, suggesting dried peppers and blackberry bush. Light to medium body, fine tannins and a straight-up finish.

A smooth, rich, and spicy blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon; bright and juicy with tangy berry notes

A soft and silky red with a soft, ripe-fruit and cedar texture. Medium to full body, round tannins and a juicy finish.

Rich, spicy, and deep with ripe plum and cherry; a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot, it’s a lovely Folonari-like take on an obscure appellation.
