Ruby red with purple hues, the nose releases a complexity of aromas ranging from ripe red fruits and Mediterranean scrub to delicate notes of fresh tobacco and spices. Smooth and silky on the palate, yet sustained by an acidic streak that gives a crisp and persistent finish
A mild winter with average rainfall, followed by a spring characterized by lower than average temperatures, with a slow start to budding, delayed by about seven days. Warm temperatures at the end of March/beginning of April, followed by a return to cooler weather. Rain finally fell in mid-April, with regular rainfall in May. No rain between late May and early October. The vines did not suffer any water-related stress despite the dry conditions, thanks to the cool night temperatures and the rain that fell during the month of May.
Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 92:
The 2021 Insoglio del Cinghale is rich with crushed lavender, purple plum, mocha, and black pepper and plush and compelling with its aromatics. Ful-bodied, it is ripe with dark black cherry fruit, turned earth, and a clean lift off the finish. There are well integrated tannins and has a pleasing mineral touch. The former wine director in me would jump on this as a fantastic wine by the glass option, as it casts a large net of appeal and checks a lot of boxes for the price.
