Franchetti Passopisciaro

2014 Vintage- The petit verdot was harvested the 26th and 27th of October while the vineyard was still pushing new elements into the fruit, their metabolism still in ascent: There is no over-ripeness. In the glass, the liquid is rich and inky, but bright. The aromas of camphor, elderflower, and red fruits that are slightly smoked are apparent, but one can tell that the richness of the wine really comes from the enormity of the tannic structure. It resonates with vibrations like those emanating from the lower chords of a piano, filling the mouth to the brim.
