"This wine is linear and racy, with structure, length and concentrated energy that take you long and deep. It's medium-bodied, with aromas of dried strawberry, citrus and spice. Tight finish. Classic and transparent." (James Suckling 2024)

About the wine :
Intense ruby-red color with garnet highlights. Very intense nose of cherry and plum compote, some forest fruits, combined with aromas of undergrowth and eucalyptus. The palate is very well cared for, with a fine texture and good freshness, the tannins are tight and grippy, cherry fruit is present on the long finish.

About the wine :
La Morra. Medium ruby with orange highlights. Discreet but concentrated nose, with a hint of oak, which becomes more complex as it rests in the glass. Notes of sour cherry and bright red fruit are accompanied by persistent, grainy tannins. Complex oak note on the finish, which adds to the fruit rather than detracting from it, and is skilfully managed. 2026-2038
