From a top producer, one of my favourites, this is their entry level Riserva (a blend, essentially, rather than single estate). Now though it's from the modest 2014 vintage, it's beginning to sing now - it was rather closed when I tried it last a year ago. For younger drinking for sure but it's got the classic traits that you expect - beautiful black cherry fruit on the nose and palate, dry, a little acidic but with smooth tannins. Fantastic food wine and a very good direct import from xtraWine of Italy - about £14 per bottle I think. 16.5/20 drink 2020-24
