Waves of dark cherry and violet flow with surprising immediacy, the Serralunga d'Alba backbone softened by 2011's generous warmth. Lavender, mint and wood smoke add aromatic complexity to this unusually hedonistic expression. The tannins show real presence but remain plush and inviting. A forward style for this flagship that should peak within 10-15 years.
