The attack is relaxing and refined, with firm, dusty, velvety tannins and crisp acidity. It's austere and powerful enough to cellar but with the grace to drink now due to an amazing balance between the supple fruit and the structure.

Winemaker Description
1.3 hectares of vineyards in the hills around Gattinara. The steep vineyards contain soils that are a rocky mix of granite, quartz, and iron. The Wine is fermented on the skins for 18 days in stainless steel tanks that are temperature controlled, then aged in medium capacity wood casks for 30 months and released after 12 months of bottle time.
Expert Rating
Wine Spectator 93 Points | This has mellowed nicely, featuring fading aromas and flavors of cherry, plum, spice, leather and tobacco. Complex and supple, this red delivers fine balance and a long, detailed, saline aftertaste. Drink now through 2032. 1,500 cases made, 450 cases imported. (2018).

Critics Notes
Prior Vintage 2017 |
96 Points Decanter: San Francesco is a single west-facing vineyard (compared to the mostly southwest plots used for the standard Riserva) which ages partially in tonneaux instead of just botti grandi. Ruby in the glass, it smells of graphite, Parma violet, wild strawberry and peach skin, with a balsamic whiff. Velvety on the palate with tar and strawberry fruit of a stunning intensity, joined by a touch of black pepper. Broad, dusty tannins of rare power and concentration are accompanied by lifted acidity and good length. This is not a wine that's really ready to drink now; give it more time for better integration of the oak. Great stuff. (2017).
