Tasting notes
Captivating from the first tilt of the glass, the 2018 Rosso della Centa wafts up with a decidedly floral bouquet as violets and roses come together with menthol and wild blueberries. This impresses further with its cool-toned personality and pure mix of mineral-tinged blackberries complicated by sage and exotic spice. Nuances of dark chocolate, cloves and black licorice resonate throughout the long and lightly structured finale, framed by sweet tannins and cedar. This is stunning but requires further cellaring to show its best and integrate some of its oak.

About the producer
Borgo del Tiglio is one of Italy's great hidden gems. A devastating landslide in November 2025 destroyed the estate's cellars, leaving the future of the historic Ronco della Chiesa vineyard uncertain.
