Deep ruby-red with garnet hues. A refined and concentrated wine, extremely smooth and velvety, with vibrant red fruit aromas. On the palate, it delivers fruity notes and elegant tannin with hints of chocolate and spice. Excellent companion to game dishes, grilled meat and roasts, salami and aged cheeses. The Ripasso method adds complexity and weight, balanced by freshness and a subtle floral finish. Built to drink now through 2032 with a decant before serving benefiting it.

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.

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.
