This wine is allready great. Young but is very balanced. This is so complex, tasty, serious but also light on its feet and very drinkable because of the fantastic acidity. And lots of potential. Dream wine for us at the price of only 32€. Thank you Annalisa and Elvio! You are doing a great job. We are looking forward to the Cichin 2016.

This wine has it all. A very nice nose, great balance between the acidity and the fruit, very nice tannins that are not mouth drying at all and an ever lasting aftertaste.
Still young and no hurry with this but allready very nice to drink.

This Riserva wine was hand harvest during the third week of October. Following was ~ 15 days of maceration in INOX/stainless steel; after, the wine is raised in botti grandi for ~ 3 years. Pretty garnet>ruby color, with a nose that opens with generous and deep soil notes; beautiful, with a core of red and spicy fruit, good citrus. Med>full body, developing flavor complexity, great acidity, big tannins - this is built to last. With time, some roasted berries, and slight savory notes appear suggesting there's a lot inside. Quite nice, interesting. 14,0% abv., drink 2022-2044. highly recommended
