    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Ashen smoky flavours mightily intense red and dark berry fruit. Smouldering, brooding flavours. Very concentrated, earthy and spicy. This will need plenty of time to unravel. A parcel of vines from within Calderara that are over 130 years old. Ageing is for 18-20 months in a mixture of barriques, demi muids and large barrels of used wood.

    Ian d'Agata,
    Vinous
    Bright red. Pungent flinty and floral nuances to the red cherry and raspberry jam aromas on the inviting nose. Enters rich, dense and almost sweet, with very precise sweet spice and red fruit flavors lingering nicely. An underlying green note remains in the background and adds complexity. Finishes with noteworthy but balanced tannic bite and plenty of freshness on the long juicy finish. A very complex wine with a beautiful nose; the tannins though are on the tough side as in many of these Terre Nere 2017 reds. A very good wine of noteworthy promise, my suggestion is to cellar this for another 4-6 years for full enjoyment.
