An easily accessible label, even in Italian supermarkets, this bottle was kept in the cellar for the right amount of time but could still benefit from further aging. The wine shows a luminous ruby color with no hints of garnet, even after 9 years.
On the nose, vibrant red fruit aromas dominate, with cherry, raspberry, and strawberry standing out, complemented by notes of ripe fruit, a touch of violet, hints of undergrowth, tobacco, mushroom, coffee, light smokiness, and chocolate.
The palate is soft and well-rounded, with a good body, integrated and polished tannins, and excellent balance. The freshness remains lively throughout the sip, accompanied by a slight salinity that enhances the wine’s good persistence on the finish.
It likely has the potential to evolve further in the coming years.
