Bertinga Volta di Bertinga 2016

This is a pure merlot with violets, blueberries and hints of minerals and black truffles. Black olives, too. Full-bodied, yet so tight and polished with a reserved and agile mouth feel. Linear and racy. Superb quality for this first released vintage. Try after 2022 [and enjoy through 2030+]. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Nov. 26, 2019)
