“As always amazed, you can admire the visual rendering of a red of such power of nature. A champion of maximum concentration, opaque and impenetrable to the eye, as solid, textured to the touch of the tongue. Here, of grapes per vine, very little was collected, so that in each vine stem, all the sweet sap in it copiously circulating, in sparse hanging clusters, was forced to concentrate. Operation completed. Then in extraction almost all the tannin has been extracted from the skins: unfathomable color, tannically powerful taste. More pronounced persuasiveness on the nose, with spices, vanilla and mint, which dilute the billows, a little leathery of the tannin. But this is a great harmonious wine, and its fleshy strength expresses itself tastefully with a perfectly enveloping roundness. With a rusted and persuasive clarity from a very high executive enology. Its inviolate blackberry pulp then shines limpid and unforgettable sumptuously. Among the best Italian reds, chapeau.
