Last bottle of this. Nose is gorgeous with tomato leaf, leather, tobacco, terracotta and spiced cherry - nice balance of earthiness and purity. Good initial intensity on the palate with some orange peel joining the mix but a bitter streak comes in quite early in the mid palate which then thins out. Initially the palate doesn’t deliver as much as the nose promises. With air things improve greatly and it starts to hand together. A solid wine here

Purchased in La Morra. This was nice. It starts a little closed with a little oaky element but opens on the nose and palate to clean dark fruit with a touch of wildness. A bit more serious than some other LNs but very nice.

Off the list at Enoteca Turi. Supposedly 50% Sangiovese from the 2016 vintage (amongst others). Gorgeous nose of perfumed spiced plum, bright cherry, mint and thyme. Tangy spicy palate with a really lovely sapid streak. Still elegant and lifted and tannins silky and soft. Sad this is so rare and expensive.
