Silky tannins and haunting floral aromatics define this refined Bassolino di Sopra. Red cherry, pressed flowers, tobacco and sweet herbs flow with graceful intensity. The structure builds steadily through the finish with impressive concentration beneath the delicate facade. Needs cellaring through 2025, then should drink beautifully for another decade.
