The 2016 Contrada S sees fruit sourced from the Contrada Sciaranuova vineyard. The wine delivers dark fruit at the core that is framed elegantly by ash, smoke and dark volcanic mineral. Contrada S is balanced and very tight in terms of its texture. That tightness suggests a year or two of bottle aging may be required before this wine really starts to shine. Bottle production is limited with only 2,300 units made.
