Riserva

Exquisitely traditional winemaking with partial whole-cluster grapes (from a severe selection in the Mandorlo), a long 60-day submerged cap maceration, and 46 months of ageing in 30hl oak vessels. On the nose, earthy notes dominate with graphite, cola, tar and earthy strawberry fruit. Delicacy is to the fore on the palate, with firm and austere tannins, a bit on the gums, along with a lot of sucrosity and refreshing acidity. It lacks a bit of meat on the bones, but is a classic style.
