"The 2020 Rosso Chaos shows this warm vintage's dark and radiant elegance. It opens with a seductive bouquet of sweet violets and lavender, giving way to a dusting of cinnamon spice, cocoa and, finally, crushed wild berries. It floods the palate with the silkiest textures and polished ripe red and blue fruits, taking on notes of tobacco and clove. A web of fine tannins tugs at the cheeks as this finishes dramatically long and potent, balanced by a tinge of brisk acidity that maintains a lovely freshness. The 2020 comes across as sun-kissed yet harmonious. It needs a bit of cellaring to integrate its oak. The Rosso Chaos is an equal parts blend of Merlot and Syrah."

"The 2019 Rosso Chaos wafts up with a bouquet like human catnip: crushed violet candies, dried rose and subtle hints of vanilla and mocha give way to sugar-dusted blackberries. It,s rich and youthfully dense on the palate, casting waves of ripe black fruit tinged with sour citrus across the palate, all under a sweet herbal air. Beneath it all, a staining of gentle tannins slowly mounts, balanced by vibrant acidity, as a salty flourish pops toward the close. It,s grippy and tinged with tobacco and ash through the finale, leaving this taster looking back to the bottle for more. For any collector that hopes to understand the potential of Merlot and Syrah from Le Marche, this is the wine for you, but do give it a few years of cellaring to truly soften. Of note, this is the first vintage where Montepulciano was removed from the blend, and the result is a total success."
