Wine Enthusiast
"This bottling from old vines is full of freshness and is always intriguing, calling to be tasted several times over several days. It starts with aromas of freshly picked plum, just-ripe cherries, fresh herbs, rose petals and a hint of stone. The palate follows suit with taut, rough tannins, a fresh, light body and refreshing flavors of plum and crushed stone." (Wine Enthusiast 2020) Birichino never ceases to amaze!
