Monfortino 1997

Its color is already unique and unnatural, with those evident nuances of purple. The bouquet is rotund yet many-sided, bramble berries, raspberries, pomegranate. This too is far from ready, still at the start of a very long life. It is perhaps the only wine in the world which can bring together elegance and finesse with an unbridled boldness in terms of intensity and variety in its aromatic spectrum. The accent of sweet tobacco is a treat for the nose, similar to a ripe fruit, always with that watermelon which makes it stand out among the others. The taste is a cross between a caress and a punch, the aftertaste.... maintains its presence for an eternity. What we have her is perhaps the best Italian wine for that vintage and among the top three for any vintage. Superb.
