Note di degustazione
The 2016 Contrada R (the "R" stands for Rampante) delivers a glossy dark ruby appearance much like the Contrada P. The wine emits straight-shooting aromas with dark berry and wild cherry framed by smoke, tar, cigar smoke and scorched earth. You get some floral tones, like red rose petal as well. This wine is balanced and powerful, yet the tannic presence is more moderate, making this wine slightly more accessible. I'd suggest a near to medium-term drinking window. Some 3,300 bottles were made.
