Aromas of red berry, blue flower, leather and an earthy whiff of truffle waft out of the glass. Reflecting the nose, the taut, linear palate shows juicy Marasca cherry, baking spice, camphor and wild herb alongside lithe tannins and fresh acidity. It’s savory, with youthful tension and while ready now it will offer several years of enjoyment. It’s a fantastic Rosso. Drink through 2022. 93/100 Wine Enthusiast
