Riserva

The first Riserva release from this young estate, Vigneto Branca was planted in 1972. Fermented with 100% whole bunches, it sees a long maceration of up to 40 days and spends one year in used barriques, followed by another year in larger casks. Opening aromas of cacao and polished wood progress to a striking mix of Mediterranean saffron, sage blossom and forest roots. The palate is fresh and lively yet at the same time offers great depth of brambly berries with spicy herbs. Oodles of soft, grainy texture too. While the tannins are just a bit dry, the acidity makes the mouth water. Just 2,000 bottles produced.
