Schioppettino 2019

91

A mentholated freshness introduces the 2019 Schioppettino, followed by peppery wild berries and sage. This flows across the palate with silky textures propelled by vibrant acidity as tart red fruits and savory spices swirl throughout. The 2019 finishes classically dry and lightly tannic, still youthfully poised, leaving rose and licorice nuances lingering. The 2019 holds its power in reserve and will require cellaring to unlock its charms fully. Drinking window: 2024-2029

Schioppettino 2018

The 2018 Schioppettino is smoky with a burst of crushed black raspberries, woodland herbal tones and exotic spices that form its bouquet. This is linear and vertical in style, with ripe red and black berries that give way to saline-minerals and grippy tannins. It leaves a lasting concentration while tapering off structured with hints of licorice and currant.
