100% Nerello Mascalese grown in Contrada Porcaria at 650 m above sea level. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 18 months in large oak casks.
Lustrous and just mid ruby. Deeper nose than the Contrada C with perfumed concentrated raspberry and hints of crushed black pepper and stones. Racy acidity cleaves through savoury-sweet raspberry fruit. Very firm but polished tannic spine ending in a chewy raspberry fruit finish. Firm structure. 17++
