Riserva

An early ripening site within the Nervo MGA, Vigna Giaia has been vinified separately since 1995. The steep, south-facing slope on calcareous-clay marls gives mightily structured wines, making it a natural for the estate’s Riserva bottling. Ageing in small barrels is manifested in an overlay of vanilla and nutmeg but there is space for savoury nuances of sage, bay laurel and smoky tobacco as well. The palate is tense and angular, sporting the vintage’s – and the cru’s – signature austerity, along with the tangy acidity of just-ripe forest berries.
