Tasting notes

Single-vineyard-wine and the top Ormeasco-cuvee from Lupi. And finally an interesting red. Dark purple-red all the way to the rim. Surprisingly hints of animal fur in the nose. Some hints of anise and cherries. With air the nose gets more and more hints of cow-dirt and also some herbs. Full-bodied in the mouth. Good fruit-concentration. Still animal fur is the strongest component. Some anise. Good acidity for a dolcetto and quite tannic end with some hints of cherries. Good length. Good wine.
