The 2014 Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco is a large-scale red wine that delivers an impressive performance. This vintage is slightly leaner in terms of mouthfeel compared to past editions, but not by much. In fact, the bouquet is richly endowed with black fruit, spice, tobacco and toasted espresso bean. Dark blackberry and plum sits at its core. The blend of grapes used is 90% Pallagrello Nero with tiny parts Aglianico and Casavecchia. Cured meat and spicy tobacco add momentum to the long finish.
