Vigna Barbagalli 2011

Made from Nerello Mascalese grapes the vines of which are almost 100 years old and date back to before the phylloxera plague. Its volcanic soul creates an iridescent and intense aroma with scents of exotic fruit like hibiscus and ylang-ylang, dried strawberry, dark cherry and red peach skin. The mouthfeel is progressive and distinct, the flavor an eruption of fruit and minerals, with young tannins that still need polishing but with a willowy and wrapping body that ushers in a long and decided finish.
