Wild cherry and iron minerality define this muscular Valmaggiore, its considerable weight anchored by gripping tannins that coat the palate. Cedar, tobacco and autumn leaves emerge with air, building layers of savory complexity. The structure is formidable. This needs serious cellaring to integrate its power. Drink 2026-2040.
