Tannic with depth, without being too in your face. Really great pick from the Stoneburner folks.

The favorite of the Le Piane wines. Deep violet color, and highly extracted. Purple flowers, roasted berries, licorice. Very tannic, gripping texture. Great with braised meats.

Your tannins are outliving you, my old bitter cherry-scented friend, but you have served me well.

Throwing away older empty bottles and definitely want to remember this one.

Dark florals, fierce cherry pits, lifted, nervy and gritty mocha during the day, surely to blossom into an Alto Piemonte beauty into the night. Led by 100+ year old Croatina vines.
