Product details

  • Winemaker

    Aldo Olivier and Giorgio Flessati

  • Variety

    Carmenere
  • The colour is brilliant and deep, the nose intense with red fruit and spicy notes. Very delicate tannins on the palate, rich, ripe and warm ensure this wine has incredible softness and body. We sometimes compare this to both left-bank Bordeaux and top Amarone - but it's actually a standalone super wine, rich, dense, complex, perfect!

Press ReviewPress

All the reds from this brilliant, Italian-owned winery are first class, so take your pick. My favourite (just ahead of the Syrah) is this intensely aromatic, peppery, clove-scented number, with its fresh acidity, balance, length and impressive poise. More than any wine, this has changed my mind about Carmenère. 94 points
