Produced from a selection of grapes from the best plots of Montepulciano grown on the Contesa estate in Collecorvino, 250m above sea level.
Warm and open on the nose with aromas of ripe black fruit, hints of dark chocolate and spicy oak. The palate is rich and generous with bramble and black cherry fruit fleshing out the supple yet structured tannins. Bright acidity with notes of mocha and liquorice on the finish. Great paired with roasted or grilled meats
90 Wine Enthusiast The nose is clean, sophisticated and crisp, with aromas of cedar, polished leather, vanilla and Luxardo cherry. The palate brings the tartness of black cherries and blackberries, along with the sweetness of milk chocolate and a medicinal licorice quality, while tannins and acid create a smooth, unifying structure.
90 James Suckling Roasted herbs, black fruit and coffee beans on the nose, as well as wet earth. It’s full-bodied with medium-firm tannins and an earthy minerality to the black fruit.
