The 2007 Ca- Carnocchio fleshes out beautifully, with expressive dark fruit, orange peel, leather and exotic spices. Rich, round and generous, the Ca- Carnocchio is an immediate, sexy wine best enjoyed over the next handful of years. The 2007 isn't as exuberant as it is in top vintages, but this is nevertheless a very strong effort. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.
Readers will find much to admire in this set of new releases from Le Salette. This is an impressive showing from the Scamperle family.
