The 2016 Rosso de Veo is a dark and virile, wafting up with baked black cherry, savory air-dried meats and grilled sage. This takes a turn toward elegance on the palate, still insipidly dark yet silky-smooth, with polished red and black fruits that coast along a core of bright acidity. Through it all, grippy tannins slowly take hold, and yet the expression remains fresh, as the 2016 comes across as cool-toned and classic. This is a vintage to lose in the cellar, and just a baby step below the intensity of the Pagliaro. The 2016 spent a whopping 58 days macerating on the skins. (Eric Guido, Vinous, November 2022)

Prodigiously tannic - was hoping given the year and bit of age would be more balanced. But still a wonderful wine - the dark fruit and acid follow through are very nice. Going to be a knockout in 10-20 years.
