Tasting Notes
A most serene note of dried sour cherry is lifted and aromatic and immediately spells the Italian DNA of this wine. Hints of blood orange peel only add to the cherry allure. The palate comes with a medium but sinuous body that channels the fine, silky tannins, some toasty oak notes and exquisite Morello cherry fruit into a languid, elegant shape. Beautiful, serious, utterly fresh with a hint of cinnamon on the finish. Lovely now, certain to evolve.
