Description

The Pellegrinis meticulously curate fruit from the venerable vines to craft this exceptional Riserva. Situated at a lofty elevation above the inversion layer, coupled with reflective and well-draining soils, the resulting fruit embodies concentration and aromatic finesse. Aged in Slavonian oak, the wine artfully reveals the vineyard's inherent character. Adorning the label is a reclining deer, a testament to the vineyard's rich history and the wine's remarkable cellar potential for years to come.

Natural cork.

Review

Woodland berry, eucalyptus and exotic spice aromas slowly appear in the glass. Firmly structured, the full-bodied palate offers dried cherry, prune, star anise and clove set against tightly knit close-grained tannins that give the finish grip. A tobacco note wraps up the close. Drink from 2022–2028.
