list][*]2016 Proprietà Sperino Uvaggio - Italy, Piedmont, Northern Piedmont, Coste della Sesia (11/18/2020)
Stunning. This PnP shows a medium garnet> ruby core; it’s clear, and bright. Initial aromas offer a bold display of red/dark red berries, an equal amount of cherries, and lovely forest scents. The weight of the wine is more or less med(+) bodied, though the sheer abundance of fresh acidity keeps this flowing evenly, and elegantly. I’ve not even swallowed the first taste, and I’m already wanting more; this is very pure, highly transparent. With some air, there’s a touch more weight, and the perfumes of complexity manifest even more profoundly. Very fine, sweet tannins are perfectly in tune with my preference: this is a world class wine, and my mind wanders nearer to Grand Cru Burgundy than anywhere else. At this point, I can’t recall if I dreamt about it last night, but I certainly woke up still thinking about it. A serious contender for the best red wine, from anywhere, in its price class. While this has enough structure to cellar for the mid-term, it’s so joyous now, it’d be a shame not to check on it if, like me, you have several. 14,0% abv., natural cork. highly recommended+
