The 2014 Contrada S (with fruit from the Sciaranuova vineyard) offers a bright ruby color and deep color saturation that is characteristic of this exuberant vintage. Perhaps the intensity of the bouquet is a notch or two lower compared to some of the other wines in this series. But those aromas do build in momentum as the wine opens in the glass. You get dried fruit, plum, crushed mineral and exotic spice.
