April 17, 2024 - When I visited this winery in 2022 it was as part of my queste to try and taste wines from every DOCG in Italy. It was the Fior D’Arancio Colli Euganei DOCG that I came searching for. What I found was a beautiful winery with an inspiring story to tell and taste. And while the Fior D’Arancio was fascinating, I was also attracted to the red wines that I tasted, so I took home some bottles.
And only just now I have taken the time to taste this D+ Riserva from 2017 for the first time. My first thought? Where can I find more bottles of this!
Medium dark ruby with some purple at the rim. Expressive aromas of cherry, blackberry and ripe strawberry with some spicy notes and hints of green pepper and toast. Full bodied with silky-chewy tannins that are mouth coating and some fresh acidity. The finish is long and fresh.
This wine has quite a lot of structure to make it last for many years to come. But I enjoy it a lot at its current age: exciting and well balanced. Drink now -2032
