Riserva

Blended from a portion of Istine’s three vineyard selections - Cavarchione, Istine and Casanova dell'Aia - this Riserva sees an extra year of ageing in 30hL Slavonian oak casks. It is the largest, most structured wine in the range but does not lack the estate’s signature precision or purity. Subtle aromas are led by rosemary, sage and juniper, with accents of lavender woven in. The tannins are chalky, textured and still quite dry, and the finish is a touch warming. Right now, the frame dominates - though there is sufficient depth of ripe currant fruit to back it up.
