Chioccioli Altadonna Family Estate

Starting to develop some nice tertiary undergrowth characters which complement aromas of red cherries and vanilla. It has a fine dense texture and is medium bodied with bitter fruits on the finish and a juicy acidity giving length and cellaring potential. It was fermented in oak barrels where it spent a further 18 months: although the oak is evident, it is not overly dominant. This is a well-balanced, smooth wine which will continue to evolve in bottle.
