2016 Foradori Granato

Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 28, 2020 - As other others have noted on CT, a mixed of wild berries, both red and black are at the forefront of both the nose and the palate, some earthy notes, and playful tannins. Added with medium to medium-low acidity, I was drifting towards thinking of this as the Italian cousin of a top shelf Bedrock (Dolinsek?) or a Carlisle from the Russian River. But then one senses the palate density….and its almost freakin weightless. Game changer. Working this backwards, everything seems different now, a wine with some fruit for sure, but so unique, playful yet serious, just like what everybody says about Elisabetta F from various articles and whatnot. I’m pretty sure the Granato doesn’t see the famous amphora that Foradori is known for but is aged in old oak barrels (open air?) Simply lovely. No clue how this will age out.
