winemaker's notes:
With Vitiano we have tried to achieve a young red wine with explosive, luscious aromatic fragrance. This wine has a wonderful, deep, intense ruby red colour with important, solid, and wide organoleptic qualities, but above all it exalts the food it is combined with. It is very rich in polyphenols which harmonize with its fresh, tasty acidity. It is versatile red, quite innovative in style which can be appreciated immediately. It adapts easily to various dishes and can be drunk litghtheartedly drawing great pleasure from the sharp fragrance of its perfumes and its straightforward character. It should be drunk in wide crystal chalices where it can best develop its bouquet.
critical acclaim:
"Ridiculously dark black-ruby color. Pretty aromas of cassis, black plum and earth, with a pronounced vanilla presence that does not overpower the fruit. Rich and densely packed, with distinctly ripe flavors of black fruits, raisin and chocolate lifted by an intriguing balsamic vinegar note. This finishes lighter than it starts, with welcome acidity nicely delineating the borderline-overripe fruit. Finishes creamy and long. This is a lot of wine for the money, and the best Vitiano in years, far removed from some astringent versions of recent memory."

International Wine Cellar
"The 2007 Vitiano (Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon) is a soft-textured, caressing red that blossoms on the palate with layers of perfumed red fruit and sweet French oak. This is an especially seamless and beautiful Vitiano that is particularly rewarding for its textural richness. Vitiano is typically bottled in several lots, all of which undergo malolactic fermentation in French oak. This is the first lot (0922) to be bottled. According to proprietor Riccardo Cotarella, the bottle variation that occasionally shows up in Vitiano is most likely attributable to the different amounts of time the various lots spend in bottle prior to arriving on the market. Clearly lots that have more time in bottle have the potential to show greater harmony than lots that have less time in bottle. That said, slight bottle variation issues here are a minor quibble for a wine that delivers so much value. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012."

This wine has an amazing taste and rich boldness for a the low $9.99 price. Its hard to find this kind of value. I already bought more.
This is an incredibly dark, rich and smooth wine. Perfect for just sipping and a delightful companion to whatever you choose to knosh on!
Very nice well balanced wine with good structure and good finish
Inexpensive wine with a very nice taste. I was suprised from the nose to the finished.
We enjoyed this with friends who really enjoy wine. It was enjoyed and appreciated by everyone, including two professional winemakers.
Great character - a real treat!
For the price, a truly excellent wine. Yes, you can buy bottles of wine for $30-50 that you might like more, but in a blind taste-testing, you just might pick this one. It is very smooth but still full-bodied. We quite enjoyed it!
For the price, you can not beat this one! Hard to find in the retail markets. Good pricing online!
This is the kind of wine I like when I just want to have wine. It's Light, crisp and not overpowering. I like it!
An excellent Italian wine at a great price. Smooth, full bodied with wonderfy aromas. I would serve this wine with any type of food and would definitely bring to a friends for dinner!
This wine is outstanding for the price. The bouguet is like sitting next to a wood fire along fresh water smell. absoulty great
Really truly one of the owrst wines I have ever ever tasted! It was on sale and now I know why... feel ripped off the wine.com had it listed as one of the best for under 20.00
would buy again if in the 10 dollar range. It's a good wine, but it needs a chance to open up. The 2nd half of the bottle tasted great..
Had a peppery kick with my Chicken Marsala the other night, but mellowed nicely as the meal was finished.
Nice and smooth. Great to warm you up on a cold winter day.
Took advice and let this one breathe. Full bodied, smooth and well balanced. Surprise for me was the long finish.
Tasted as if the wine had been 'cooked' in shipment. Had a vinegar type taste
Decent, appropriately priced, but nothing special. I do not agree with the 91 points.
