I'm on the fence. Giovanni Ascione tells me this is the best vintage he has ever made. I am less satisfied, however, with the purity of the bouquet displayed by the 2016 Sabbie di Sopra il Bosco. Of the various vintages I have tasted (starting with 2010), this is my least favorite. I am distracted by a note of impurity—a musty note—that I fear will worsen with time. This is definitely a wine of character, with its imperfections and all. I would suggest drinking it young while those primary notes of black cherry and plum are still intact. Production includes 7,630 750-milliliter bottles and 120 magnums.
