Concocted of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The herbal spice of PV and CF hover protectively around the blackcurrant and earth of the Cab Sauv. The tannins are dusty and polite, poking up midpalate then giving way to a torrent of blackberry, black currant and purple plum with a sapidity and maybe a lick of licorice. Each sip evolves. A fascinating bottle. Closer to Bordeaux in style but stylish as Italians tend to be. Do decant. Do have more than one glass and give it time to speak.
