  Really well balanced and you do get some tomato/leaf notes. Paired very well with pizza

  Il più noto Nero di Troia, esce come Riserva dopo un affinamento di 18 mesi in botte. Il naso è un cesto di frutta matura con tanta ciliegia in evidenza; in secondo piano un tappeto balsamico dato dal legno. La bocca non tradisce la tipicità: la scia vinosa è stretta e verticale, arginata ai lati da un alcol sotto controllo (13,5°), un'acidità viva e un tannino piuttosto polveroso. Retrobocca amarognolo; chiusura lunga nella quale rispunta la ciliegia di partenza. Vino ben fatto, un poco Fruit Bomb, che però dopo la curiosità iniziale annoia abbastanza in fretta.

  Lys og klar farve. Kraftig duft med violer, røde kirsebær. I munden mediumfylde, med klare røde noter, hindbær og ribs med pågående frugtsyre og fine, men ikke så kraftige taniner. En helt anden oplevelse end Syditaliens alkoholbomber. En let og aromatisk vin, lidt i stil med mencia. Virkeligt dejlig oplevelse. Kan drikkes nu, men formentlig ligge 10 år mere.
