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.

Peppery, firm, underrated. 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.
Century-old alberello bush vines, each one pruned into a low goblet against the wind. Twelve months in used French barriques, then a year in bottle before release. It over-delivers every year, which is why we keep buying the whole allocation.

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.
