Rich and enveloping, this Ripasso unfolds with waves of dripping ripe plums, blackberry jam, and fresh figs, while delicate violet perfume lifts the wine out of the glass. A backbone of smoke and earth grounds the wine, adding complexity without heaviness. The palate shows impressive depth and concentration yet maintains poise through its savory finish, a balancing act that keeps you coming back for more rather than weighing you down.
