Riserva

Bibbiano’s Riserva is put together with grapes from both sides of the ridge it sits on – the warm, sun-soaked southwestern exposure, and the cooler northeast flank. Selection is based on greater concentration than the berries which go into the annata bottling. This suggests immediate ripeness as blackberries infused with anise, clove and Mediterranean herbs waft from the glass. The palate is exuberant in fruit with juicy, mouthwatering acidity, earth and mineral notes to balance. The tannins certainly give something to chew on and provide backbone for mid-term ageing – though this can be cracked now. Finishes with some warmth.
