Cantalupo Ghemme Anno Primo 2013

Dark and brooding with remarkable depth for a mid-tier bottling. Worn leather, dried herbs, cedar and orange zest build with compelling intensity. The structure remains firm yet approachable, carrying those evolved aromatics through a persistent finish. Drinking beautifully now through 2028.
