From vineyard holdings in Castiglione Falletto, this opens with alluring scents of new leather, ripe berry, blue flower, cake spice and a balsamic note. The full-bodied palate doles out black raspberry, fleshy black cherry, clove and tobacco. Firm, ripe tannins provide support and an age-worthy structure. Drink 2022–2032.
