Il Rabdomante is about body, structure and ageability, using the best, ripest parcels of fruit from this incredible vineyard and crafting a wine of power without sacrificing balance or structure. A tour-de-force. Ruby red, intense and persistent fragrance; the bouquet is intense, fruity, persistent, with notes of dried flowers, spice, liquorice, macerated cherries. The palate is stylish, velvety, almost creamy, with a tannic structure that blends nicely with the alcoholic component. Great structure, complex, elegant, well balanced with a long aftertaste. Opulent fruit.
