Note di degustazione
Made with grapes from Perdriel, 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Malbec aged for 18 months in new French oak, Volturno 2010 is very much still developing. The complex nose currently offers hints of pyrazine, cigar box, cigar ash and truffle, joined by a layer of flower, fig and date. Accomplished on the palate, it is coming together in the bottle with a ripe flavor and restrained, well-polymerized tannins. Full-bodied with plenty of scope to keep developing.

(a 77/23 blend of malbec and cabernet sauvignon; 15.4% alcohol): Full, deep ruby-red. Polished aromas of blackberry, violet and licorice with sexy oak tones of bitter chocolate, cocoa powder and espresso. Wonderfully velvety and rich, with outstanding verve to the primary black fruit, violet and licorice flavors. Lush but balanced wine; dense but nicely extracted and harmonious. Finishes with outstanding rising length, well-integrated new oak and noble tannins. Offers a lot of immediate sex appeal but this will be even better in five years.
