Riserva

From a tiny parcel planted in 1948, the Riserva sees a lengthy 90-day submerged-cap maceration followed by ageing in 15-hectolitre casks. A charismatic nose of pine, cedar and sage leads to macerated red berry. Subtle vanillin and lavender emerge with time. Quite substantial though its power is deftly reined in. The fruit is youthful and intact, with attractive oak nuances well embedded. An intrinsic juiciness courses vibrantly through the mid-palate. Tactile and savoury, with a winter-mint finish.
