Blue berry compote just barely stewed in a silky cooling delivery. Layered, sumptuous and light. Excellent

fizzy, genuinely fruity, onest, fun. Unique in its essence and diversity.

Many have said to be weary of bottle variation, but this was incredible last night. Tasted with the importer here in Australia - Michael at Quelvino. Previously Coravin-ed bottle, so maybe why it didn't have the spritz everyone talks about.
So inky and meaty. The palate screams sour cherries with an array of spices and herbs. There's a richness imparted by some RS too, I feel. What stumped me the most was the finish - started of big and tannic, then evovles into this subtle drive that goes on and on. I'm guessing this is still too young, with such heavy fruit. Can't wait to try more of this.
Note: The cuvee came with analysis values, which showed good TA and pH for a red. Alcohol was in the low 13's and it was surprisingly dry (0.8 g/l if I recall) - could be fruit sweetness that I was tasting. The spritz mentioned is a common feature of the wines because they finish fermentation in bottle. The grapes used are mainly Croatina, Uva Rara, and Vespolina (also known as Oltrepò ughetta). Italy's OG natty winemaker, making wines from a single cru (monopole?).

2011 vintage
Малина, черри-кола, эстрагон, зелёная листва, фиалка, можжевельник. Легкая бодрящая игристость; сочные, мягкие танины; натуральная, дружелюбная естественность. За кажущейся простотой стоит огромная работа.

Физзи.
В носе лакрица, черника, кофе, пепел.
Во вкусе шоколад, асаи, биттер, гвоздика, рябина.
