Review
Sweetly spiced and floral, the 2017 Aleatico Superiore Pergola Grifoglietto lifts up with notes of allspice, clove and balsamic-tinged black cherries. Its velvety feel gives way to a rich display of ripe black fruits complemented by salty minerals, as an air of tobacco and cocoa builds toward the close. This finishes long and lightly structured, with fine tannins resonating on nuances of licorice, inner violet tones and sour citrus.

Review
(a single-vineyard wine made from roughly 50-year-old vines): Full ruby-purple. Aromas of blackberry, black cherry, violet and quinine. Pure, primary dark fruit flavors are highlighted but not overwhelmed by spicy and floral notes of sandalwood, cardamom, nutmeg, lavender and violet. This impressively intense fruit bomb is still very young and should repay a few more years of cellaring. Finishes with excellent lift and length.
