“Aromas of wildflowers, sanguine-edged black fruit and ground spice. Medium-to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Leather and roasted herbs come through. Delicious, tasty red. Drink now.”–James Suckling (Sep 2021)
SPEC | Vintage 2019
▸ A deep ruby-red wine with aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, woodland fruits and a hint of ripe marasca cherry. ▸ A rich, concentrated palate where notes of spice and fruit, highlighted by the presence of sweet tannins, lead to a long finish. Well-suited to long bottle aging. ▸ Made with the appassimento method where two-thirds of the grapes are left to dehydrate before the vinification process. ▸ About 15-20% of the juice is aged in cherry wood 'tonneau' casks while the remainder is in stainless-steel tanks. The concentrated flavours give rise to this very rich and flavourful wine; think Amarone.
Food pairingsExcellent with most savoury red meat courses, roasts, stew, as well as mature cheeses.
