Riserva

Besides his day job consulting at a handful of estates in the region, oenologist Maurizio Alongi tends a grand total of 1.3 hectares in Gaiole’s remote forested hills. Harvest was performed on a single day: 28 September. Alongi says it was his most productive vintage ever and made 6,500 bottles. Initial reductiveness gives way to fresh strawberry and raspberry laced with cinnamon, pepper and clove. Taut and midweight, the palate is dark, woodsy and still slightly aloof. Puckering juiciness with smooth yet compact tannins lead to the liquorice root finish. Absolutely beguiling but begs to be cellared.
