Awesome. I love the minerals that linger in this one. It's aged in stainless and it doesn't miss oak in the least.

Fantasticly spiced. Paired with risotto, meatballs and sauze. Low to medium tannins. Not sweet jammy or fruity. Slightly earthy. Definitely vegetal. Jose noted padron peppers on the palette. I got a strong fall spice, but my nutmeg, cinnamon or pumpkin pieish.

Super interesting. Grippy tannins. Like a Teroldego with a touch more sweetness.
