Tenute Orestiadi Il Rosso di Ludovico Riserva 2017

Ripe yet still perfumed, this Sicilian red blend that often features nero d’avola and cabernet sauvignon, is delightfully peppery and floral with pleasant botanical notes. The palate is rich with well-ripened, velvety tannins and a heaviness to match the substantial weight of the bottle. Excellent length. Best now to 2029. Tasted April 2022. Score – 90.
