  Brigaldara: Juicy light purple color. I love the smoky and meaty tones on the nose, interwoven with savory broth and spicy herbal tones and earth, along with black cherries and red currant compote. The palate is deep and full, zesty acidity, grippy but fine-edged tannins, and the balance is on point. Tangy red and black cherries abound, accented by charcoal, anise, tar, earth, green herbs, black pepper, some leathery tones. A lot going on here, and this will age really well. Warm, inviting, delicious. 59% Corvina, 21% Corvinone 21%, 17% Rondinella, 3% other varieties, aged two years and small oak and an additional year in larger oak barrels.
