Riserva

One of two Riservas now produced by Livia Fontana, this new wine is crafted from purchased fruit from the tiny MGA of Vignolo. The estate favours long ageing in large casks that lend a decidedly savoury and mellowed character. Top notes of dried rose and citrus peel cede to earthier, grounded nuances of tea and leather. Enveloping and mellifluous in flow with luscious acidity, mace and sandalwood embellish the palate. Smooth, layered tannins sneak up with an authoritative grip. Just needs a slow braise of game meat.
