Ronco del Gnemiz, Rosso Buri Bellaria - Organic , 6 Bottle Case 75cl

"The 2018 Buri Bellaria Rosso is stunning. It’s primarily old-vine Merlot with a dollop of Refosco (about 10%), and it shows a breathtaking bouquet of crushed violet candies, lavender, geranium, white smoke and blueberries. It’s soft and silky, seeming to hover on its mid-weight frame, running the gamut of flavors from fleshy wild berries to salty minerals, savory spices and herbal tones. There’s structure here, yet it’s nearly masked right up to the very end, where inner florals and tart blue and black fruits linger. This is so beautiful today that it’s hard to recommend waiting, yet the best is truly yet to come. Also of note is that this is the first vintage of this bottling, as the Palazzolo family only recently took over management of this vineyard from Miani. Drinking window: 2023-2032. 94 points
