Palate
The 2017 vintage gave a Nerello Cappuccio with tannins present but sweet and mature, with a rather powerful structure with hints of leather and hay, incense, pepper and black cherry which however does not border opulence, giving us a Laeneo with an unexpected muscle, which however goes in great balance with elegance and mineral freshness.
Ripe plums and sour cherries, black pepper, wild berries, savoury
