Hand-harvested, crushed, and traditionally vinified in small open-top fermenters. Left on skins for 11 days before being pressed and sent to French Oak puncheons, 20% new. Only 10 months in oak before bottling.
Sweet dark fruit including blackberry, blueberry, violets and jelly with the acidity lending a raspberry freshness. The savoury character is not yet pronounced but is evident, lingering on the long acid-driven finish. Medium bodied, mouth filling and unctuous with moderate and dusty tannins finishing with signature high acidity. Drink now – 2025.
Bright, deep crimson-purple; the strident messbag of berries of every description is quintessentially Italian, its absence of drying tannins equally varietal. Steve Pannell has waved his magic wand over this wine, making you reluctant to spit it out. Any Italian restaurant will make you love it more.
