(at Decanter's November 2017 Fine Wine Encounter, London, 12 Nov 2017)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2020
Produced from the typical varieties Corvina and Rondinella, this blend also contains 10% Oseleta, a variety purportedly rescued from extinction by Masi. It has vanilla and fresh red berries on the nose. The palate shows a pleasant ripeness along with bright acidity and piquant, lively tannins which combine to give an enjoyable energy.
