Note di degustazione
There’s a significant colour change moving from the 2018 to the 2014 Colle Vota, while the nose reinforces this shift with leather and damp undergrowth sitting alongside dried red fruit. The tannins have softened and are supple, while the acidity still refreshes and cuts through the fruit.

Sweet roses, violets and white pepper open first, before blossoming further to show ripe strawberries, mixing sage with mint and finally spiced orange. The purity of the 2014 is unreal, contrasting an attractive inner sweetness with zesty red fruits, minerals and bright acids, and yet remaining remarkably lifted and feminine, taking on a decidedly floral character toward the close. There's still youthful tannin, yet it’s nearly masked by the Colle Vota's fruity and almost-exotic nature. Is it Montepulciano or Grand Cru Burgundy - or maybe Château Rayas? Licorice, ginger, clove, and a bitter tug of citrus are all found as this gorgeous wine slowly tapers off. The 2014 is already so enjoyable, yet I’ll be checking back in on this beauty in another two years and expect great things. Only 2,800 bottles of the 2014 were made. The next vintage to be released will be the 2018 in the winter of 2021.
Maturing mid ruby with bricky rim. Peppery, savoury, minerally red-fruit nose and savoury dark and red fruit on the palate. Really distinct, minerally and complex. (WS)
