“Castelrotto 2008
This is one of the new varieties that has been rediscovered in the region: it was propogated from a very old vine that looked different to all the others, and is named after one of the local towns. It has lovely intense pure dark cherry fruit on the nose with a bit of chocolatey richness. The palate is concentrated, fresh and pure with sweet, appealing dark cherry and blackberry fruit. Very successful with lovely purity of fruit. 91/100 [Molecular analysis has shown that this variety is actually the same as Teroldego]”
