Producer

Orenga de Gaffory

This has intense sweet black fruits and vanilla, ripe blackcurrant and blueberries aromas. Layers of flavour reveal themselves on the palate creating a complex wine with a smooth silky texture yet quite a firm structure. This is Nielluccio at its best: ripe and concentrated, with balance and poise. Grapes from old vines were handpicked, destemmed and crushed with an extended vatting of 30 days on skins. The wine was matured in French oak with a third new, a third one-year-old, and third twice-used barrels.
