The 2012 1890 is a pure expression of Nerello Calabrese made to celebrate the five generations of vintners that make up the long history of Calabria's Tramontana estate. The wine is produced in limited bottle numbers. Fruit from ancient vines is aged in French barrique to offer sweet flavors of cherry and dried blueberry. This is a simple expression with some overripe fruit flavors (mainly dried prune and raisin) that give the wine a soft and velvety texture on the close.
