“The 2013 Calderara Sottana has a distinct character compared to the estate’s other vintages. It offers a more balsamic style with notes of wild fennel, rosemary, black fruits, and burnt earth. On the palate, it is the most ethereal and the most elusive, as its aromas are constantly evolving. Lovely fruit notes round out the profile. Despite the sublime complexity on the nose, the wine is more immediate and direct on the palate. Lively berry flavors are followed by smoky tannins. This vintage should age very well.” (Wine Advocate 2015 – Robert Parker)

About the wine:
The 2013 Calderara Sottana has a distinct character compared to the estate’s other vintages. It offers a more balsamic style with notes of wild fennel, rosemary, black fruits, and burnt earth. On the palate, it is the most ethereal and the most difficult to pin down, as its aromas are constantly evolving. Lovely fruit notes round out the profile. Despite the sublime complexity on the nose, the wine is more immediate and direct on the palate. Lively berry flavors are followed by smoky tannins. This vintage seems less complex overall but should age very well.

About the wine:
A deeper color than the Santo Spirito, and a more powerful aroma. On the palate, it is juicy, smooth, and red-fruity with enveloping tannins. It will improve with age. A Burgundian interpretation of Nerello Mascalese.
