Clove, liquorice and wild herb jostles with swirling notes of plum, blackberry and tobacco to offer an enticingly complex nose. Medium bodied, with velvety rich tannins and deep waves of black fruit compote, this is a fine example of balanced and elegant ripasso. Showcases both terroir and the power of the technique.
