Lungarotti Rubesco 2022

Spicy and smoky, this wine features a graphite-like toasty character intertwined with notes of meat, blackberries and cherries, complemented by an enhancing floral nuance. It is crisp, if not a bit nervy, on the palate, with a medium body, rose petal flavors and tight, chalky tannins resulting from a relatively light extraction. Drink now.
