MandraRossa, Carthago, Sicilia, Sicily, Italy, 2016

Another very successful vintage, this 2016 features more youthful fruit aromas than the 2014, with a dense, balsamic dark fruit character. In the mouth, sweet, ripe raspberry and strawberry fruits are backed up by spicy cedar, tobacco, forest floor and a hint of chocolate. Fresh acidity gives a long finish. Drinking beautifully now.
