Tasting notes
Deep dark ruby. Cool wild strawberry and blackberry and with an unexpected concentration of fruit for this very rainy vintage. Supple blackberry and blueberry palate with super-soft tannins. Gorgeous wine that is a triumph for the vintage. A fantastic effort and with a palate weight that seems more profound than its 12.5%. When you are bored of everything, buy this. (WS)

The 2014 Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso di Cialla is a darkly alluring and rich red, with brown spice, smoked meats and ground coffee giving way to woodland berries. Savory red fruits and exotic spice offset a lovely inner sweetness, all enriched by a touch of hazelnut. Soft tannins, ginger and sour citrus are left lingering as the 2014 tapers off almost juicy in feel. This is a unique style of the Refosco, courtesy of the difficult 2014 vintage, but one that any fan of Ronchi di Cialla should not be without.
