Tasting notes
Pale ruby red. The nose is immediately very mineral – evoking rocks and earth. Pure fruit aromas of freeze-dried raspberries, strawberries and dried cherries, with perfumed sweet roses and a hint of smoke. On the palate the concentration is superb – so intense and pronounced; the fruit is crunchy and tart with cranberries and raspberries. This is a dry and sappy wine, with firm, mineral tannins – but it softens on the finish with a gorgeous sweet fatness, before returning to a fantastic fresh drive of acidity – long, linear and very pure.

Transparent ruby. Sweet, rich nose. Real bite and masses of freshness! Scrubs the inside of the palate! Long. Very energetic. (JR)
Oenologist Carlo Ferrini's estate, run by his daughter Bianca. Light bricky red. Lifted, scented, tangy red fruits with a herbal freshness. On the palate, grainy texture, extreme freshness and intense, vibrant, wild red fruit. Almost tart in its freshness. Very long and attention-grabbing. (JH)
The purity of fruit is all here with strawberry, lemon-peel and floral undertones. Goes to cranberries. It’s medium -bodied with firm tannins and a bright, vivid and linear finish that keeps your palate clean.
