Description

This is a young wine with terrific depth and layers of fruit. It’s full-bodied with notes of eucalyptus, lavender and sage and hints of matchsticks and oranges. It’s linear and tight at the end, with an energetic finish. Very Saffredi in nature. Better than the 2021. 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot and 10% petite verdot. Ranked #7 in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Italy in 2024. Ranked #28 in James Suckling’s Top 100 World Wines in 2024. Score – 99. (jamessuckling.com, Aug. 4, 2024)
