I have been to northern Italy and seen the grape vines growing out of the rocky mountain face. In such an inhospitable environment the smells and flavors seem to huddle together, beneath the grape peels, creating a concentration that is highly desirable in wine. At nearly six years of age, this wine is just stepping out as a full fledged adult but has many fine years ahead of it.
Very dark maroon color. One year in large seasoned oak barrels and then six months in stainless steel before bottling. Exotic scents of violets, wild blueberries, huckleberries, spices and minerals. Full bodied but delicate, nuanced flavors that coat the tongue. Deep, concentrated finish.
