Piedirosso Tenuta Camaldoli 2017, Astroni
A monumental red for charisma, warmth, and stylistic rigor. The olfactory profile alternates between evolved black fruits and mineral and smoky notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the power of the vintage and the verticality of the volcanic terroir. A demonstration of style that represents the absolute pinnacle of Piedirosso Riserva.
Piedirosso Tenuta Camaldoli 2017, Astroni
The Piedirosso "Tenuta Camaldoli" 2017 from Cantine degli Astroni is a monumental work, a Cru that challenges the reputation of Piedirosso as an "everyday wine" by elevating it to a red of international stature. The vineyards, located on the Camaldoli hill, root themselves in pure volcanic sands; the 2017 vintage, one of the hottest and driest of the last decade, has given this label an extraordinary concentration and character. On the nose, it is a concert of rare elegance: distinct notes of plum jam and black cherry merge with deep scents of ash, sweet tobacco, cocoa powder, and a mineral trace reminiscent of sulfur and volcanic rock. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping; the entry is soft, almost velvety, supported by a noble and fully integrated tannic structure that unfolds towards an endless finish, salty and characterized by an aristocratic balsamic freshness.
