This comes from younger vines planets in the limestone rich solid of Brezeme. Whole-cluster fermentation with native yeasts in open concrete tanks with no sulfur and a 6-8-day maceration; no extraction techniques (only a submerged cap for gentle infusion of color and flavor); aging in concrete tanks on the fine lees for 18-24 months with no racking. Powerful with subtle smokey dark berries, licorice and pungent flowers on the mineral-inflected nose. Chewy black and blue fruit and sweet floral notes take on spiciness with time in the glass. This wine is very generous but with a rather  lively edge that adds lift through the long finish dominated by dusty tannin and dark silky fruit.
