Firman Teroldego Rotalian Riserva 2019

A serious example of this Italian red from the Trentino Alto Adige region, Teroldego Rotaliano received DOC status way back in 1971. Riserva wines are only released from the top vintages. An inky dark maroon, the nose exhibits notes of black fruits, chocolate, licorice, soy, cloves, bacon fat and aniseed. A supple texture, with good complexity even at this relatively early stage, silky tannins, good balance and serious length. The intensity is maintained for the full length of the journey. Enjoy any time over the next eight to ten years as it evolves and develops more and more maturity.
