Riserva

Misco Riserva is picked up to 10 days later than the non-Riserva version, and stays on the lees for 18 rather than 12 months. The result is nearly double the price in the UK, but is arguably worth it, especially since this 2019 is not far off the quality of the concentrated, nuanced 2016. Deeper and earthier in aroma, it combines floral highlights with baked apple, citrus peel and a hint of almond. In the mouth it's broad, creamy and intense, with apricot, baked apple and a sprinkle of black pepper and sweet spices. There's good acidity in the background, supporting a vibrant and fresh expression; sapid and saline, bright and long.
