Medium bodied, tart cherries, quite dry, medium finish.

Number 4 of 5 at the Salcheto winery. Stepping up to the VNdM Riserva now, which adds a dash of Colorino for (what else?) coloring! Lots more aging in barrel and bottle which definitely comes through. Amazingly expressive and rich, with all the canonical Sangio phenolics in play. They have this "magnification" process (reminiscent of Valpolicella Ripasso) involving secondary fermentation on the must of former dried grapes. The result is super tasty and adds texture and savoriness. A wine for the long haul.
