Ghiaia Nera, meaning 'black gravel' is a nod to the organic vineyard’s volcanic soil. This vintage, from young vines, has real vibrancy and freshness. It's lighter bodied, with malleable tannins and lively acidity, showing floral charm and a core of red cherry and raspberry fruit with herb and earth nuances.
