Aromatically fully mature, yet still decanted 4h to mellow the tannins.
Evolved aromatics in the nose with leather, tomato leaf, some sweet kirsch, a bit of tobacco leaf and Balsamico.
On the palate this is rather lean & savoury with juicy acidity and quite rustic, chewy tannins (despite the age & decant).
This is great with food (tagliata with rucola!!) and to contemplate. A touch too austere for solo sipping.
A nice Nobile though with good purity.

Solid, but not my style. Last wine of the night so that didn’t help either.

Fantastic wine of the region! Similar to the Riserva of the Contucci Family of Wines, this full-bodied (yet lighter) Nobile has an aromatic nose but not overpowering. A smooth and drier finish rounds out the taste! ... when did we start talking like we were professionals at this? (Maybe that's only in my mind...)
