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.

The single-vineyard bottling, 18 months in botte. 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.
Terraced hillsides above the sea, worked by hand because nothing wider than a mule fits. A slow, cool maceration to protect the aromatics, then aged on lees for texture. A wine that rewards a decanter and a little patience.

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.
