The 2011 Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco is almost too much of a good thing. The undeniable heat of this scorching vintage is embedded within the appearance and the flavor profile of this dark and ripe red wine. Pallagrello Nero performs with soft tannins and jammy chewiness in this vintage. The addition of Aglianico (5%) and Casavecchia (5%) is just enough to keep the wine from feeling too flat or heavy. Those grapes add contours and firmness.
