Spicy red fruit with a lovely acidic streak and a hint of aromatics from the Muscat in the blend. Soft textured and super fresh, with a sensation of wild berries. Easy drinking but characterful too. Recerca is the project of Read more
Fresh, green apple fruit on the nose, slight reduction. Slightly funky, earthy fruit. A strange style that, although it’s not lacking fruit, really could use more acidity. As it stands, a bit flat and not a wine that invites you Read more
Inky black, with roasted, meaty aromas, baked plums and graphite. Warming and delicious on the palate, with great balance and perfect evolution. Roasted fruits, fully evolved tannins. Everything in its place. A big wine but with surprising drinkability, and one Read more
