  Quite enjoyable. Red fruit and plumbs, lots of herbs (esp basil), perhaps even a light balsamic note, puckering finish. Feels fresh and lively with substance.

  Bought this on a critics advice as the “one wine” I could have. A bit too sweet, almost syrupy for me. On the palate there was a vegetal edgy finish as well. Probably not the “one wine” I would choose

  Blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 20% Corvinone, and 10% Rondinella. The elegant and refined nose of medium-high intensity has attractive red berry, cherry, strawberry aromas followed by sweet and savoury spice, and sandalwood notes. On the medium+ bodied palate it is well-structured and dry with red and dark red cherry, strawberry, earthy spices, and white pepper flavours. Although quite pale in colour for this style of wine, it has very good structure with some grip to the gently chalky tannins. Very good acidity. Lovely cherry, strawberry, and earthy notes are joined by mineral touches on the long, crisp finish. Still feels quite young.

  Cherry, plum, and sweet spice nose. Medium-bodied palate with dry flavours and a tannic edge to the finish. Not much in the way of 'ripasso' character.
  3/5
