Crafted from Bibbiano's diverse plots extending over 30 hectares, this blends grapes from cooler northeastern exposed vineyards with warmer, sun-soaked southwestern facing sites. Aged in concrete vats rather than oak, it offers nice purity and focus. Mid-weight with a lightness of texture, sour red cherry and finely powdered tannins. Not a ton of length but all components are well-proportioned and in the right place. Makes for a very drinkable-now package.
