Riserva

Made from a tiny plot planted in 1967, the Monvigliero Riserva sees a long, 60-day submerged-cap maceration before ageing in a 25-hectolitre Slavonian oak cask. Spicy top notes of sage, thyme, peppermint and cinnamon make for an exotic opening. The palate is smooth and well-knit. Dense, sweet red berries are pressed between layers of sumptuous tannins. These cling decisively as they build and will need another year in bottle to recede. Tangy acid draws out the finish, where dill and cocoa are revealed.
