"Notes of spiced cherries and red plums with hints of cocoa, walnuts and dried herbs. Fresh and juicy with a medium body and vivid acidity. Tannins are soft and polished with a firm, red-fruited finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2022 Rosso D'Uco is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah and 10% Merlot from the Uco Valley and was 40% aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels. Ruby-red with a garnet sheen. The nose presents sour cherry, dried flower, delicate herb, undergrowth and rose petal aromas. The tart, light palate has a silky flow and refined tannins, making this a distinctive red."

"Shy, showing a bit of maturity with a dusty edge. Powdery textured Sangiovese tannins meet the racy acidity on the palate. Wonderfully fresh, the red-fruited flavours accentuate the translucent, slender body. Elegant, unusual, and beautifully aromatic. Nominated by Alejandro Iglesias."

"The nose of this blend of Sangiovese with small amounts of Syrah and Merlot is fruitforward. Black pepper adds spice to cherry and raspberry flavors that invade the palate and mark a long finish. It,s fresh and tasty. ‡J.V."

"An elegant, approachable and polished red, with floral thyme and fresh clay undertones to the juicy and well-spiced flavors of red currant and maraschino cherry that linger nicely on the finish around smooth tannins. Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot. Drink now. 2,000 cases made, 600 cases imported. From Argentina.—Aaron Romano"

"Fresh and fruity nose with plenty of cranberries, red berries, pomegranate and cherry stones on the nose. Very juicy and fluid on the palate with a touch of savoriness in the middle. Medium-bodied with soft tannins. 70% sangiovese, 20% syrah and 10% merlot. Drink now."

"The 2023 Rosso d'Uco hails from La Arboleda and La Consulta in the Uco Valley. A red blend of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah and 10% Merlot, it delivers ripe cherry aromas with a hint of sun-kissed fruit, marmalade and a mix of green and dark berries. Dry and light-bodied on the palate, the taut and juicy flow features a subtle chalky grip and a structured mouthfeel supported by oak tannins. This is a rare Italian-inspired wine. Elevated acidity forms the core of its character."
