Gran Selezione

Bottled separately as a single vineyard wine since 1988, Il Picchio is surrounded by a forest of oak and chestnut trees. The soil is poor but full of multicoloured schist containing minerals like iron, magnesium and manganese. Upfront cedar and smoke fuse with cherry and plum compote. The full, weighty package is lifted by brightening acidity but ultimately carried by firm, solid tannins. Finishes with a slight arid, mouth-drying sensation.
