100% Nerello Mascalese, pre-phylloxera, 80-100 years old.
Grapes are harvested by hand, left to macerate on skins for 18 days then soft pressed. Aged 20 months in fine grain French oak barrels. Natural malolactic fermentation.
Layers of smoke, ash, crushed walnuts and cranberries on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with sleek, tight tannins. Lots of ripe and dried red fruit on the palate with citrus peel and tobacco, too. Precise and tight finish. Lots of old-vine magic here. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years.
