Hailing from a meticulously tended vineyard within the Novello commune, this wine effortlessly unveils its profound complexity, foreshadowing a wealth of exquisite flavors. It opens with a luxuriant blend of dark rose and anise, complemented by a harmonious infusion of sweet spices, offering a decadent introduction. Subsequently, it delves into successive layers of assured crimson and dark fruits, with an opulent juice of regal proportions and a sustained vibrancy, all expertly bolstered by delicate, velvety tannins and elegantly poised acidity. The promise of this wine is unequivocally fulfilled – it is ready to be savored now and for countless years to come.

Review

From a beautifully staged vineyard in the Novello commune, this immediately shows a deep complexity, a promise of great riches. Dark rose, anise with compatible sweeter spices offer a decadent start, followed by waves of confident crimson to dark fruit, juice of royal proportions and ongoing vitality that receive great support from fine, dusty tannins and gracefully balanced acidity. Promise fulfilled – to drink now and for many years to come.

Tasting Profile

Palate
Juicy red fruits that heart shaped Ravera profile, the fruit start broader across the palate and tapering away. Supple refined tannins, long juicy acid with a pleasing tang. Again grape first, tight-knit and pure. The most overtly acid of the Crus, it has loads more to come as the acid resolves with time and secondary development sees this relax and build generosity and complexity.
