Pleasantly dark, brooding and earthy in the glass, the 2017 Rosso Monte di Grazia wafts up with peppery florals, pine shavings and musky black currants. It washes across the palate with silky textures, as tart wild berry fruits and inner violet tones give way to a coating of fine-grained tannins. There’s a core of brilliant acidity here that maintains fantastic balance, as the 2017 finishes lightly structured, incredibly long and full of youthful tension. The Rosso Monte di Grazia is a blend of 90% Tintore di Tramonti and 10% Piedirosso from Pergola-trained vines between the ages of 25 to over 100 years old. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023)
