A great concentration of aromas assails the nose with strong notes of liquor cherries and a candied fruit, the palate is long and rich with the same ripe fruits and a hint of almonds prevailing. Grilled steak, rich stews and game are ideal accompaniments to this wine although it is equally good when sipped and savored without food.

92pts Vinous – Antonio Galloni– 2012 vintage

FOR THE 2012 VINTAGE
Dark ruby with a hint of an amber rim. Reticent but deep aromas and flavors of flint, plums, cassis and cocoa. A brooding, powerful wine with young, chewy but noble tannins. Finishes long with persistent notes of espresso and lavender. Lacks a little nuance to be truly memorable, but this well balanced, suave wine is a remarkable achievement in 2012. (16% alcohol)
