This full-tilt seductress is robed in transparent barberry red with a sleek frame and only the right amount of suppleness to polish its angles and bring a beautiful esthetic to its curvature. Some of the details that go into the construction of this delightful Sciacarello are that it is fermented only in cement tanks to keep that perfume lifted and pumped over for a gentle extraction. The bright acidity (at pH 3.40) is gorgeous and well integrated into the wine despite being within the range of solidly refreshing white—in fact, I’d serve this at slightly closer to a white wine temp than red. It comes from two parcels, the smaller third of it from vines planted around the year 2000, and the rest (2/3) from vines planted in the late 1970s.
