A remarkable success from a village that had a very tough year in 2009, this wine from La Morra shows very dark color and extremely prominent aromas of black fruits but also cherry liqueur and red raspberries. The oak seems quite restrained, but that could simply be the result of being overwhelmed by the sheer expressiveness of the fruit. The tannins seem very ripe, but the wine shows no raisiny character and there’s no heat in the finish. An indisputable star of the vintage.
