Natural Cork

This is the first La Collina ever released under this name, aged in 100% new oak. The colour by now is a translucent, slightly cloudy garnet. A lift of menthol precedes overtones of caramelised plum against a backdrop of smoke and a lovely, expansive earthiness. This beautiful earthy tone also spreads across the palate with equanimity and smoothness while red fruit flashes up amid the gently caramelised plum. Tannins still guard the fruit while ripeness and freshness frame it. Mellow, juicy expression. Lovely and savoury.
