SIERMA - PRIMITIVO IN PUREZZA
2018 YEAR - 1300 BOTTLES
Shining, concentrated ruby mantle. A very pure nose, sketched on the gentle features of the terroir: black cherry, swirling ensemble of wild fruits, mint tobacco and myrtle, a hint of rhubarb and juniper berries. It has explosive personality on the palate, where the flavour expands unrestrainedly, enriching itself with notes of potpourri and marine scrub, in a growing progression marked by creamy tannins and a finish of disarming roundness. Extremely long persistence, to open applause.

SORMA – OTTAVIANELLO IN PUREZZA
YEAR 2018 - 1200 BOTTLES
Beautiful ruby colour of great luminosity. The nose is stunningly beautiful: refined aromas of ripe blackberry and cassis on the attack, followed by tones of wild strawberries, mentholated notes and aromatic herbs, and a precious touch of English leather that makes it even more noble. In the mouth it is savoury, full-bodied, with an elegant balance between freshness and perfectly ripe tannin. Completing the harmony is a long, intense finish with hints of Mediterranean scrub.

FRAUMA - NEGROAMARO IN PUREZZA
YEAR 2018 - 1450 BOTTLES
A flaming ruby colour, denser in the centre of the glass, from which rises a fine swirl of aromas of sour cherries and cherries, red roses and Caribbean cedar, coffee, a deep dowry of dark spices, a caress of cinnamon and a special sylvan note. The palate is stupendous, truly material: the structure measured to the micron is complemented by superior phenolic mass; complex and vital, it offers an extraordinarily long and varied persistence.
