2003: a very hot year with an exceptionally early harvest starting on August 26.
A blend of 60% Corvina, 15% Corvinone and 15% Rondinella with the remaining 10% composed of varietals allowed by production regulations. The wine matures in barriques and then ages long in the bottle. A surprising drop especially considering how hot it was. The color is transparent and still ruby but the edge is distinctly garnet. The bouquet has balsamic notes and those of rosemary and laurel. The mouthfeel has achieved a balance with the aroma and is fresh, enlivened by a sensation of blood orange, and slightly dry, especially in the finish which is very long. A biting wine but one that impressed me.
