Tea, forest floor, and dried leaves grace the nose. Air brings out sour red berry and dark berry fruit, then floral notes emerge slowly, Almost sweet on entry, this is much fresher on entry than the nose would suggest, broad yet transparent, it drops off a bit on the palate, showing its age there a bit. Blackberry and black cherry fruit on the palate, hint of volatility lends lift especially on the backend, still is a bit short.

Popped and poured. 100% Teraldego from a 5 acre parcel and aged in amphora. At this stage the 2014 “Sgarzon” pours a nearly opaque, garnet color. Let’s be clear, there’s definitely some VA, but there is some absolutely gorgeous pomegranates, tart dark brambles, earth, and stewed plums too. A very pretty wine that reminds me why I am so smitten by Elizabetta‘s wines. For my palate, this is showing better than it did back in 2017. Very Italian…but with some Burgundian sensibilities. But even that isn’t fair. These wines are singular.

Medium bodied. Nose is Maraschino liqueur and ocean breeze. Palette presents some red fruits and tar. Medium weight, medium+ tannin, and strong acidity. Suckling gave 97 pts. I’ve followed it a few years now and still can’t give more than low 90s.

A bit reductive. On the very fresh and slightly raw side. Probably best while the fruit is still young.
