An 'extreme fyndvarning' from Patrik on an Italian Viner should not ignore, and today it was time to test Calabrettas 'Nonna Concetta'. Nerello Mascalese-grapes grown far up the Etna, in more than 700 meters from the ancient sticks at 70 + years with very low yield. Only 600 bottles produced of this topcuvée.
Deep ruby \u200b\u200bcolor with bright shades of brown. Gorgeous and complex nose with elegant, bright berries and a very distinctive sweet flora quality of tulip, hyacinth, and pineapple with dark hints of leather, bark, and licorice.
taste is nothing less than fantastic with clear-cut fruits and incredible balance between intense acidity, soft complex fruit and a bone-like minerality. It is a wine with a beautiful, massive structure where hard and crude acid matched by wild tannins, which glues the gums, cheeks and tongue completely together in a powerful demonstration of a finale. Strawberry Lång far out in the aftertaste along with titillating pineapple acid and mineral elements of lime and white smoke.
A classical marble sculpture of a wine - smooth, refined and yet tons heavy. In short, this mega-impressive and although the structure vehemence and slim fruit reminds a lot of great traditional Barolo / Barbaresco, it is a distinctive personality which opens here. A perfume that is special - a bold tulip-like tone that I have not met before. Lovely is certainly, over delicious even. 159 million in Carlo Merolli - Presto!
