Tasting Notes

17.5
Jancis Robinson Walter Speller - 24 Sep 24
95% Chiavennasca, 5% Rossola Nera. Aged for 18 months in 32- and 22-hl casks followed by an unspecified period in unspecified containers.Lustrous but just mid ruby and with orange tinges. A touch deeper in fruit and with the stony minerally components prominently coming to the fore. Suave, concentrated raspberry fruit underpinned by very long, finely chiselled tannins and a clear stony minerally note on the finish. Fantastic length and juiciness. (WS)

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
