Lifted and wild, with strawberry and dried cherry, wild fennel, dried garrigue herbs, plus blood orange and pepper. Light- to medium-bodied palate. Sappy fruit – strawberries and fresh pomegranate – leads, followed by brisk, spicy tannins through the mid-palate; they bring energy and drive but still need more resolution. White pepper spice lingers, reinforcing a sense of purity and tension. Promising in terms of complexity, with real persistence and intensity, but clearly young. Energetic, grippy and very much one for patience. A Nerello Mascalese-dominant field blend from ungrafted pre-phylloxera vines, aged for 12 months in glass demijohns on lees, then settled in chestnut barrels before bottling.
