    Semi-opaque garnet. Lots of dark cherries and a rich, dark chocolate warmth on the nose. Hints of olive brine and fresh sourdough. Dark, jammy, almost plummy - more in common with a softened Riserva than an Annata. Somewhat softened, more international, jammy tannins than you'd expect. Soft and approachable, while still showing real structure and rigour. It's a stellar wine, but that dark jamminess seems at odds
