"a great wine, beyond the grape varietal it’s made from, must talk of the piece of land it came from. Beyond being mainly good, it has to be a classic in its own way" Luca.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is ruby red, and looking dark and deep. On the nose it is open, intense, youthful, complex, ripe, generous, rich and charming. The taste is full, round, rich, refined, perfumed, with sweet tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with perfectly balanced structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has blackberry, meaty, spice, toasty, chocolate, cigar-box and violet flavours. The finish is long, round, extensive, flavorful and vibrant. This wine is a mouthfilling and impressive. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 2h before tasting.
