More dense and intense coming compared to Bricco Rocca, earthy notes showing more, showing heat, finish not as prominent compared to BR. Interesting to revisit after time to see how it show
Earth, mushroom, some red fruits, chocolate, rustic on the palate with good acid, tannins still quite prominent, dry but fine, bright acidity, med finish, still have a long live ahead
84% PN, 16% C, tirage Jul 2022, disgorged April 2024, Oxidative, nutty, backed with red fruits character, searing acidity, linear on the palate. A little unbalanced at this stage
