30% appasimento which means this needs almost a day to breathe. Raisins, prunes on the nose, spice, dark flowers. Ripe and juicy. Big dark rasined fruit. Big massive tannins.
@Delectable Wine this is the “Le Spagne” Vino Rosso. Thanks.

Technically not a lessona in 2010 bc he didn’t fill out the paperwork.
Nose is lovely dusty cherry flower. Very pretty. Maybe some pink rose. Some raisins.
You get some raisins on the palate. Lovely texture. Delicious in an unusual sort of way. You get that Raisin but an elegant Raisin without the weight and alcoholic oomph Of say an amarone.
Terrific elegant finish.
A very distinctive wine. In a good way.

... 2 hours in this is the best amarone ever. 30% of the grapes were dried. So it’s not shocking. You sort of need to reorient your brain and accept what it is. But once you do it’s amazing. It has elegant raisins but also blasting balancing acidity.
This is almost two wines in one at this point. Pop and pour is normal hot year lessona. With air it’s something altogether different. So in one level that’s confusing. On another it’s a beautiful surprise. Welcome to small production middle of nowhere alto Piemonte.
