The 2012 Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco is a balanced and polished red wine that does not hold back in terms of power or intensity. That extra muscle comes from the steady summer heat of the 2012 vintage. Pallagrello Nero is blended with 10% Aglianico and Casavecchia. The Pallagrello gives the wine fiber and succulence, but the two other grapes add firmness and backbone. This wine is already showing signs of elegant evolution.
