Cork

The first vintage of a wine of this name was 1925, the year before the Contini Bonacossi family bought the Tenuta. Tasting it in its centenary year, in February 2025, was a remarkable experience. My stream-of consciousness-notes went like this: ‘Label intact, very good level, good cork, pale peach shade, nose perfectly integral, without a shadow of oxidation, sweet orange peel, wood ash, cinnamon, wild strawberry, aniseed... intense, bone dry, savoury, mouthwatering, green tea, sweet liquorice, fascinating note of pomegranate. Faded away like a ghost from the past, but the memory remains.’
