100% Nerello Mascalese. This is the highest parcel of the contrade, sited at 1,000 metres above sea level. Importantly, the ancient lava on which these vines are planted has developed a slightly porous, oxidative quality, ordinarily making for a rather ethereal, perfumed character. 2017 made for a much more assertive Rampante. Ruby in colour, it presents a very precise, focused nose, red and black berried fruit, pepper-spiced. The palate is rather punchy, slightly at odds with the perfumed nature of the nose in terms of the tannic structure – will be tremendous given time.
