Tasting note

A ruby-red hue with subtle garnet shades at the periphery. aromas are fruit-driven, featuring blueberry, cherry, and macerated black cherry. Notes of cinnamon, tobacco, tealeaf, roasted coffee bean, and delicate leather emerge. Refined spices like white pepper, cloves, and cinnamon add a graceful complexity.

In the press

The Frescobaldis have successfully embraced the classic and iconic qualities of the vintage with the chiseled and sharp aromas that came naturally in 2016. Those etched contours come forth as cherry, blackberry, rose, spice, tar and tobacco. Drink 2024-2040.
