Exactly what I wanted
Grabbed it on a recommendation from the shop and I am glad I did. The finish is much longer than I expected.

Sixty-year vines, pomegranate and iron. Bright acidity keeps it lively through the meal. The tannin is firm and needs food or air.

From the importer
Why we buy this one.
Old alberello bush vines on the Cirò plain, most of them older than the people farming them. Hand-harvested in small crates, sorted twice, and pressed whole-cluster. Serve it a touch cooler than you think — around 15°C is right.

- Mushroom risotto
- Braised short rib

Exactly what I wanted
Not a shy wine — give it twenty minutes in a decanter and it opens right up.

Perfect with Sunday dinner
Paired it with a slow-cooked ragù and it was close to perfect. Will be reordering by the case.
