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.
