Color:
black-red with some purple.
Nose:
medium expressive, warm, spicy, earthy, a bit sweet and cooked, some
ripe black fruit, a whiff of black pepper, balsamic nuances, not young
but also not yet mature impressions, some depth, quite attractive, not
elegant or refined, very pure.
Taste:
round, warm, spicy and tannic, some earthy nuances, nice ripe fruit,
mineral, fresh acidity, nice mid palate, some softness and juiciness,
good balance, warm style with a fresh touch.
Finish:
medium long, powerful, earthy, spicy, warm, mineral and also
still compact (young), well balanced, refreshing acidity, very pure.
* This wine obviously comes from a warm region, but has also a
balancing touch of freshness, the strong and pure character displays
ripe fruit, spices and balsamic nuances, the tannins are powerful but
well embedded in the juicy taste impressions. Characterful, organically
produced wine.
- Drink this wine between
now
and 2008, may improve with age a bit, will lose some fruit and gain a
bit softness and sweetness.
- Very reliable producer
in the ultimate south of Italy making mainly strong and well structured
wines. Sometimes wines from this region and produced from the negramaro
tend to heaviness and sweetness. this wine has to much character and
concentration for that, this wine has a strong own character.
