Riserva

Palladino is the only estate crafting a single-site bottling from San Bernardo, and only ever as a Riserva in select vintages. To be fair, it is a rather small sub-district of approximately 4.5ha divided between three producers. The 2020 is hauntingly evocative and heady in autumnal scents of damp soil, truffles, chestnut and desiccating leaves. Satisfyingly full, the palate is layered with ripe forest berries and intricately knit, supple tannins. Balsamic herbs flirt in the background. Savoury, long and almost ready to drink, this under-the-radar gem is well worth seeking out.
