TASTING NOTES




Appearance
Deep, inky garnet with violet reflections. Intense color saturation, indicating both richness and concentration.
Nose
Layered and expressive. Opens with vivid notes of graphite, fresh lavender, blackcurrant, and thyme. Subtle undertones of iodine, crushed mussel shell, and mountain herbs give it a striking sense of place.
Palate
Full-bodied and refined. The entry is powerful yet precise, showcasing cassis, blackberry, and dark chocolate, followed by hints of cacao, crushed stone, and a faint umami character. The tannins are remarkably silky, with superb intensity and balance. A mineral backbone adds elegance and lift.
Finish
Long and resonant, with flavors that evolve over minutes. A wine of immense structure and finesse, built to age gracefully over decades.

Rack of Lamb with black olive tapenade and wild mushroom risotto
Short Rib Tagliatelle with truffle butter and shaved Parmigiano
