This wine is a touch reserved on the nose, so give it a decant. Once you do, aromas of macerated black cherries, blackberry jam and dried flowers will leap out of the glass. The palate is full in body with dark fruit flavors highlighting the generous nature of this wine that finishes with a kiss of acidity.

A rather deep nose, with a mineral twist jumping out from the black chocolate and tarry blackberries. Quite juicy on the medium-to full-bodied palate, rounded by firm and resolved tannins. Attractive freshness to the dark-berry fruit in the finish.

Enticing smoke and spice notes on the nose underscore flavors of baked blackberry, cured tobacco, bacon fat and rich earth in this sculpted red. Packs a rich profile on a medium- to full-bodied frame, yet this is well-balanced and poised, thanks to fresh acidity, a minerally underpinning and fine-grained tannins. Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone. Best from 2023.
