Incorporating prime Cerretta fruit elevates this blend to new heights. Wild cherry and blackberry weave through graphite, sage and worn leather with remarkable grace. The tannins show real muscle yet never overwhelm the wine's inherent elegance. Sourced from Sarmassa, Pernano, Bricco Ambrogio, and Cerretta vineyards, this remains a consistently brilliant expression that flies under the radar. Drinking beautifully now, though 2028-2040 will showcase its true depth.
