Caldera Lazio Rosso Grechetto Rosso

Kirsch, rhubarb, raspberry bitters, clove, fennel seed, ash. Snapping rounded acidity/minimal rough velvet tannins, medium bodied, juicy-silky texture, long-smoky peppery slightly bitter finish. Mineral driven, food friendly, not for those who seek fruit in a wine.

This takes a few minutes to come alive, so patience is rewarded. The nose shows deep earthy aromatics with a powerful herbal note. This opens up as a pretty straightforward medium bodied, balanced wine. A good mix of red fruit, spicy/earthy savoriness & noticeable acidity. The tannins seemed to "wake up" over dinner & this added a textural component which enhanced the detail & depth in the fruit. Ripe red berries emerged with that beautiful grip. This finished with a return to those savory notes & the wine seemed made for our chanterelle & leek risotto.
