Potpourri dried flowers, cracked peppercorns, garrigue herbs and caramelised, spiced nuts on the nose. Warm and filling, the tannins are pronounced with a crushed stone, iron-laced tang that coats the entire mouth. This has strength but it's not heavy, with a juicy core that lifts the palate and acidity to keep things fresh and forward. This builds in layers adding in more spice, sun-kissed black and red fruit with mineral touches throughout, building to a long and sustained finish. Feels like the alcohol stands out a touch but this would work well with food. From a two-hectare vineyard planted on volcanic soils at 950 metres above sea level. 5.9g total acidity.  7,000 bottles produced. WInemaker Carlo Ferrini.
