Note di degustazione
A pure expression of Nerello Mascalese from the Guardiola vineyard, the 2016 Contrada G is slightly tamer in appearance but more poignant and sharp in terms of aromas. The quality of those berry aromas is very clean and bright. You can easily distinguish cassis, dried cranberry and wild blackberry. Delicate tones of spice, cigar ash, scorched earth and crushed stone appear at the back. This wine is streamlined and elegant. Like the other wines in this series, it ages in large oak casks for 18 months. Some 3,700 bottles were released.
