Deep red. Very spicy, sweet red fruit and minerals on the captivating nose and the luscious mouth. Multilayered and complex, boasting a brooding youthful quality but also a polished texture. Finishes long, rich and sweet with enticing minerality and youthfully chewy tannins. A lovely wine that surprises me this year; I normally prefer Franchetti’s Contrada G or Contrada R.

The 2016 Contrada S sees fruit sourced from the Contrada Sciaranuova vineyard. The wine delivers dark fruit at the core that is framed elegantly by ash, smoke and dark volcanic mineral. Contrada S is balanced and very tight in terms of its texture. That tightness suggests a year or two of bottle aging may be required before this wine really starts to shine. Bottle production is limited with only 2,300 units made.
