The vineyards of Le Ragose are located on beautiful hillside terrain at good altitudes and are rigorously planted in the traditional pergola system. Compared to the non-Classico version, this wine seems more youthful with sweet cherry flavors, wild apple and vanilla backed by good acidity and a spice-driven finish which means it has a bright future ahead even if you age it five to 10 more years.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 90
