The nose here shows more blue fruit such as blueberries as well as violets, slate and crushed stones. Full body, very chewy tannins, lots of dark fruit and an elegant finish. Drinks in 2019.

The Fonte Lattaia Cru is situated on the southwestern slopes and at a lower altitude than Pian Bossolino where the climate is slightly warmer and consists of a unique terroir of marine deposits and clay. The wine itself is sensational, as it instantly opens with aromas of spices, minerals and hints of eucalyptus wrapped around pretty red fruits. On the palate this demonstrates remarkable balance and finesse with a gorgeous ultra-silky texture leaning into the soft, velvety finish that lingers on and on. This is a fantastic showing which is already extremely delightful. (Best 2018-2028) - February, 2017 (JD)
